NI-RADS scores the scans done after treatment for head and neck cancer, separately for the original tumour site and the neck lymph nodes, to say how likely it is that cancer has come back.
Neck masses after treatment for head and neck cancer are hard to interpret. The American College of Radiology's NI-RADS gives risk categories and management for surveillance imaging with CT, MRI or PET, scored separately for the primary site and the neck nodes. It applies to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck skin and the mouth, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx, and to non-squamous cancers of the salivary glands, sinuses, orbit and thyroid. The first white paper appeared in 2018; an MRI version, v2025, is the current release.
