The study points out the value of CT scan in the investigative algorithm of mediastinal lymphomas. Thirty-eight cases of mediastinal malignant lymphoma were evaluated in a statistical retrospective study. CT scan was used for staging the disease in 25 cases and for post-therapeutic evaluation in the other 13 cases. The CT scan for staging purpose has shown the presence of significant isolated and confluent enlarged lymph nodes in the mediastinum in all 25 cases. Post-therapeutic evaluation of the 13 cases examined by CT showed six remissions, five reductions of lymph node masses and two extra nodal extensions. CT scan is the imaging method of choice in the clinico-morphological and anatomical assessment of mediastinal lymphomas.
该研究指出了CT扫描在纵隔淋巴瘤诊断流程中的价值。在一项统计学回顾性研究中，对38例纵隔恶性淋巴瘤病例进行了评估。25例患者使用CT扫描进行疾病分期，另外13例用于治疗后评估。用于分期目的的CT扫描显示，所有25例患者纵隔内均存在明显的孤立性和融合性肿大淋巴结。对13例接受CT检查的患者进行治疗后评估，结果显示6例缓解，5例淋巴结肿块缩小，2例出现结外扩展。CT扫描是纵隔淋巴瘤临床形态学和解剖学评估中首选的成像方法。
