Abstract:Background
Differentiation between benign and malignant superficial lymph nodes (LNs) presents clinical dilemma. No specific criteria are established with conventional ultrasound to make a distinction. We aimed to study the added value of shear wave velocity (SWV) measurement with acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) and strain elastography (SE) to identify benign superficial LNs. The study included 115 superficial LNs subjected to conventional ultrasonography, 4-scale strain elastography an… Show more
