Overview
A Chest CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of hilar adenopathy. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3]
Abdominal and pelvic CT scan in combination with chest CT scan can be revealed in cases of supraclavicular adenopathy and the diagnosis of secondary neoplasm.
CT scan
- The upper limit in size of a normal node varies with location.
[Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:
- [Finding 1]
PET/CT
- On PET/CT, lymphadenopathy can be further assessed via quantitation of FDG uptake, which is a surrogate of metabolic activity. Infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic processes will show high FDG avidity on PET/CT. PET/CT is particularly useful for assessing response of lymph nodes to systemic chemotherapy.
