We regarded them as involvement if ATS mediastinal node No. 2, 6, 8, 9, 10 L were larger than 1.0 cm, and 4, 5, 7, 10 R were larger than 1.5 cm in diameter. And, we compared the accuracies between nodal involvement criteria, according to largest diameter by CT scan (1.0 cm, ...
(i.e., >1000 s/mm2). The highly cellular tissue in reactive lymph nodes may show increased signal intensity. The presence of necrosis within a lymph node represents a potential pitfall in lymph node analysis. The combination of size criteria (short axis diameter ≥5 mm with long axis ...
To estimate the accuracy of different radiologic criteria used to detect cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with head and neck carcinoma, seven different characteristics of 2,719 lymph nodes in 71 neck dissection specimens from 55 patients were assessed. Three lymph node diameters, their locat...
The lymph node criteria (long/short-axis ratio, T2WI, DWI and ADC value) were included in the analysis. Images were obtained with diffusion sensitizing gradients of 0 and 750mm2/s. The ADC was calculated. Thirty-two patients had metastatic axillary lymph nodes and 12 cases had no malignant...
The present study investigated the clinical impact of neck lymph node (LN) metastasis in locally advanced inoperable thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with a curative intent. The
Pancreatic and colorectal cancers are often KRAS mutated and are incurable when tumor DNA or protein persists or recurs after curative intent therapy. Cancer vaccine ELI-002 2P enhances lymph node delivery and immune response using amphiphile (Amph) modi
This paper presents an improved fast marching method to perform semi-automatic segmentation for lymph node from CT images. In this work, we have incorporated the gray scale information of the target region into the fast marching speed term and have given a hard constraint for the stop criteria,...
Currently used imaging techniques used for nodal evaluation are limited in accuracy because they rely on size criteria for the detection of metastases. This has led to the emergence of lymphotropic nanoparticle enhanced magnetic resonance imaging as a promising tool for nodal characterization. This ...

Fig. 4.Metastatic cells in the lymph node parenchyma. The tumor cells stain for Melan-A (red chromogen) and show irregular and pleomorphic nuclei. Some of the cells show multinucleation (×600). Box 2 Diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of nevic rests in sentinel lymph nodes ...
