## BACKGROUND. Patients who present with squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to cervical lymph nodes and no clinically apparent primary site present a therapeutic dilemma. Positron emission tomography imaging with 2-[F-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose (FDG-PET) has been shown to be useful for the examina
## Abstract ## Purpose To examine the usefulness of diffusion‐weighted MRI (DW‐MRI) for the detection of both primary colorectal cancer and regional lymph node metastases, and compare its performance with 2‐[fluorine‐18]‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐D‐glucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) in the same p
