Neck lymph node ultrasound report template
A structured neck lymph node ultrasound report template used for neck and cervical lymph nodes. It covers 3 sections and 11 fields, and includes a one-click normal preset.
Technique
High-frequency linear transducer ultrasound of cervical lymph node levels I–VI bilaterally with colour Doppler.
Sample normal neck lymph node ultrasound report
This is the text SonoTez generates when the doctor applies the template's normal preset. Measurements are left for the doctor to enter.
Technique
High-frequency linear transducer ultrasound of cervical lymph node levels I–VI bilaterally with colour Doppler.
Findings
Cervical lymph nodes
Cervical lymph nodes at levels I–VI bilaterally are oval with preserved echogenic fatty hila and hilar vascularity; no morphologically abnormal node is seen.
Impression
No sonographically abnormal cervical lymph node.

Writing the impression
Answer the clinical question first, list the remaining findings in order of importance, and keep anything new out of the impression. If a structure was not fully seen, say so and give the reason. See how to write an ultrasound report for wording and certainty terms.
