title: [Diagnostic potential of ultrasound methods of studying the lymph nodes and indirect lymphoscintigraphy in lymphoproliferative diseases].
abstract: Ultrasonic and radionuclide investigations of the lymph nodes have been performed in 342 patients with malignant lymphoproliferative diseases. A comparative analysis of the data obtained by sonography and indirect lymphoscintigraphy has specified diagnostic spectrum of these procedures. The accuracy and specificity of sonography and broad-scale visualization secured by it dictate primary usage of the procedure as a screening test in initial examinations and as a control sensitive estimator of the on-going treatment efficacy. Indirect lymphoscintigraphy is recommended as an adjuvant to echography for detailing topics and nature of the lymph node lesion and to assess the process above the diaphragm. Frequency and regimen of the examinations should be based on clinical demands.
