[Volumetric follow-up measurements in normal and pathologic lymph nodes (author's transl)].
Alteration of Lymph node volume are measured in different groups of patients. Irradiated Lymph nodes diminish volume significantly more and faster than non-irradiated ones. Lymph nodes with reactive hyperplasia with/without irradiation show a significantly smaller volume decrease than normal Lymph nodes. Malignant systemic diseases have a significant higher volume decrease than normal or reactive hyperplastic Lymph nodes with identical irradiation-dose.
