Note:—Appropriateness criteria scale from 1 to 9; 1, least appropriate; 9, most appropriate.
a One or more anatomically contiguous studies may be appropriate depending on clinical circumstances.
b May be appropriate if malignancy suspected.
c May be useful for staging and characterizing local lesion.
d Best imaging tool to distinguish between tumor recurrence and radiation plexopathy.
