Abstract：Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate Virtual Touch Tissue quantification for cervical lymphade‐nopathy .Methods Virtual Touch Tissue quantification was performed in 78 consecutive patients who underwent evalua‐tion of cervical lymph nodes at our center between April ,2013 and December ,2013 .The study group consisted of 78 pa‐tients .We got the shear wave speed (VTQ value) of the cervical lymph nodes and then found find the cutoff value through the ROC curve .Results The mean Virtual Touch tissue quantification values of the benign lesions (2 .28 ± 0 .83) m/s dif‐fered from that of the malignant lesions (6 .61 ± 1 .63) m/s ,( P < 0 .001) .Conclusion Virtual Touch Tissue quantifica‐tion is feasible for the cervical lymph nodes .
