Meticulous evaluation of abdominal lymph nodes on computed tomography (CT) is a fundamental task in radiological practice especially in oncological reporting. Although various reporting systems exist to define abdominal nodal stations for malignancies of individual abdominal organs, a complete and uniform framework for radiological reporting of abdominal lymph nodes does not exist in the literature. The goal of this review was to provide a step-wise reporting template and precise definitions of the radiological anatomy of abdominal lymph nodes and to generate a CT-based illustration of the lymph node stations of the abdomen. This CT-based illustration and reporting template will help the radiologists to aptly describe the extent of the lymph nodal diseases and will help in comparison with posttherapy scans.
在计算机断层扫描（CT）上对腹部淋巴结进行细致评估是放射学实践中的一项基本任务，尤其是在肿瘤学报告中。尽管存在各种报告系统来定义各个腹部器官恶性肿瘤的腹部淋巴结站，但文献中不存在用于腹部淋巴结放射学报告的完整统一框架。 本综述的目的是提供一个逐步的报告模板以及腹部淋巴结放射解剖学的精确定义，并生成基于CT的腹部淋巴结站图示。 这种基于CT的图示和报告模板将有助于放射科医生恰当地描述淋巴结疾病的范围，并有助于与治疗后扫描进行比较。
