Variability in Mediastinal Lymph Node Measurements in Chest Contrast-enhanced CT

Classification of mediastinal lymph nodes based on SAL measurements demonstrates high agreement. It indicates that SAL measurements automatically computed from manual LN delineations could be a reliable and time-saving tool. In cases of disagreement, the ±2 mm error supports the use of 3 size categories: normal (<8 mm), possibly enlarged (8 to 12 mm), and definitely enlarged (>12 mm).

Abstract

Classification of mediastinal lymph nodes based on SAL measurements demonstrates high agreement. It indicates that SAL measurements automatically computed from manual LN delineations could be a reliable and time-saving tool. In cases of disagreement, the ±2 mm error supports the use of 3 size categories: normal (<8 mm), possibly enlarged (8 to 12 mm), and definitely enlarged (>12 mm).
