During the period September 1980-June 1984, abdominal US was performed by the authors on 103 patients with confirmed malignant lymphomas. The results indicate US has accuracy comparable to that of lymphography for lymph node enlargement; furthermore, US has the added advantages of being able to demonstrate mesenteric, renal hilar and other abdominal lymph nodes that are not commonly filled with contrast medium during lymphography. For these reasons, US is now frequently used in the diagnosis and staging of malignant lymphomas as well as for following up the results of therapy.(US = ultrasonography)
在1980年9月至1984年6月期间，作者对103例确诊为恶性淋巴瘤的患者进行了腹部超声检查。结果表明，超声对于淋巴结肿大的诊断准确性与淋巴造影相当；此外，超声还具有额外的优势，能够显示肠系膜、肾门及其他腹部淋巴结，而这些淋巴结在淋巴造影时通常不能被造影剂充盈。基于这些原因，超声目前常用于恶性淋巴瘤的诊断、分期以及治疗效果的随访。（US = 超声检查）
