it will result in some degree of injury, and may even leave a scar. This is especially true for lymph nodes in the neck; a scar on the neck can still affect one's appearance.When
Thyroid ultrasoundNeck lymph nodesThyroid malignancyFine-needle aspirationThyroglobulinCalcitoninDue to its widespread availability, and the recommendations of specialist societies, ultrasound, not only of the thyroid but also of the regional neck lymph nodes, is increasingly employed for initial...
the scar of primary to regional lymph nodes (head and neck, supraclavicular, axilla, infraclavicular, groin) in patients with cutaneous melanoma with or without sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or former elective or consecutive complete lymph node dissection in case of positive sentinel lymph node...
we perform a sentinel lymph node biopsy at the time of the breast operation to make sure cancer has not spread. When the preoperative axillary ultrasound shows suspicious lymph nodes, we then do a fine-needle aspiration of the lymph nodes. If that shows cancer, we may discuss other strategies...
Since the tumor growth depends on the formation of feeding vessels, color/power Doppler ultrasonography (US) has been used to evaluate the vascular flow images of lymph nodes (LNs) in order to differentiate benign LNs from malignant LNs or lymphoma from metastatic carcinoma. We performed color/po...
The examination of regional lymph nodes, especially of axillary area, is an obligatory part of breast US since the basic lymph outflow follows through the axillary collector. The clinical method of...Sencha, Alexander N.Yaroslavl Railway ClinicEvseeva, Elena V....
Imaging of lymph node metastases in the neck can have two major indications: (1) prognosis and assisting with choice of treatment; (2) staging and detection of clinically occult metastases in different levels of the neck. Both indications are discussed. The role and limitations of US and US-...
marginal clarity (regular or irregular margin), internal echo-pattern (homogeneous hypoechoic or heterogeneous) and hilar echogenicity (presence or absence of echo-genicity in hilum) are good criteria for differentiating benign from malignant cervical lymph nodes using high frequency (high resolution) u...
OBJECTIVE: The differentiation between benign and metastatic lymph nodes with ultrasound (US) is based primarily on the evaluation of size, shape, margin and internal echo structure. The aim of this study is to determine whether these parameters are reliable indicators and to correlate internal echo...
