Conventional imaging modalities are limited in the evaluation of lymph nodes as they predominantly rely on size and morphology, which have suboptimal sensitivity and specificity for malignancy. In this review we will explore the role of "on the horizon" advanced imaging modalities that can look beyond the size and morphologic features of a cervical lymph node and explore its molecular nature and can aid in personalizing therapy rather than use the "one-size-fits-all" approach.
