Computed tomography of mediastinal lymph nodes. Anatomic review based on contrast enhanced nodes following foot lymphography. 1985

H H Lien, and G Lund

Normal lymph nodes of the mediastinum are often not visible at CT. Some nodes may become contrast filled after foot lymphography, and these are easily seen in the CT sections. In the present report contrast filling is used to locate the main groups of mediastinal nodes at CT. The anatomy is reviewed and involvement of different nodes in various diseases is discussed.
