title: [Lymphography, computed tomography and ultrasonic examination in determining the involvement of retroperitoneal and abdominal lymph nodes in Hodgkin's disease].
abstract: Altogether 45 patients with Hodgkin's disease were examined with the help of lymphography (LG), computerized tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (USG). The LG, CT and USG results obtained in 20 patients were compared with the histological findings. The retroperitoneal lymph nodes contrasted in LG, when involved in a pathological process, were detected with approximately the same accuracy in CT and USG. The abdominal lymph nodes undiscernible on lymphograms, were visualized in CT and USG, the sensitivity of USG was higher than that of CT. An optimum scheme for examination of patients with Hodgkin's disease with USG as the chief method was proposed. CT and LG are conducted depending on USG results and a clinical picture of disease.
