A member asked:
Would enlarged lymph nodes show up on an x-ray of the neck and head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: It may or may not. The procedure of choice is ultrasound by an eperienced sonographer. Xr is not a great exam for lymph nodes. Even better: have it examined by a doc. Usually this is palpable on physical examination and most examinations are not helpful.
