[Lymphographic and x-ray computed tomographic determination of criteria for normality of the transverse diameter of retroperitoneal lymph nodes].
Evaluation of ganglionic extension in malignant processes rely widely on ultrasound and CT. However the information yielded by those procedures regarding the ganglionic structure is poor. What is appreciated is the size of ganglia, that is presence or absence of adenomegaly. A CT study of subjects in which lymphography did not reveal structural or size changes enables one to specify the following criteria of normality: The transverse diameter of abdominal lymph nodes should not exceed 1,5 cm. The product: transverse diameter X antero posterior diameter should not exceed 2.
