title: [Comparative contribution of ultrasonography and tomodensitometry in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal adenopathies].
abstract: CT and sonography were compared in 78 cases of retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The results obtained with both methods are similar. Thus, ultrasound can be chosen as the first procedure in the evaluation of retroperitoneal lymph nodes. CT will be used as a complement in case of technically insufficient sonograms.
