“…In addition, the precontrast attenuation in the Positive group was significantly higher than that in the Negative group (Table ). The mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes have exhibited similar results on unenhanced CT in human patients and nude rats with lung cancer, and it has been suggested that these findings are due to replacement of the fatty nodal hilum with cancer cells . The precontrast attenuation in the Negative group in this study was similar to previously reported attenuation in the cranial and upper cervical lymph nodes, abdominal lymph nodes and StLNs in normal dogs .…”

“…Shao et al investigated a lymph node/aorta density ratio in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing preoperative 18 F-FDG-PET/CT, pointing out a correlation between lymph node metastases and lymph node density 40 . Flechsig et al proved a correlation between lymph node density in standard-dose CT and malignancy in lymph node metastases of a lung cancer rat model by extracting and scanning lymph nodes before the histopathologic examination 41 . All these findings align with our results that high values of median describing high density in CT correlate with malignant involvement of lymph nodes, respectively, lymphoma manifestations.…”
