Results of CT and US examinations in 24 patients with testicular tumors yielded similar sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes found at laparatomy. Therefore, the choice of either imaging modality may be influenced by other factors such as presence of abundant bowel gas, post-operative wounds, surgical clips in the abdomen, cachexia or obesity.
对24例睾丸肿瘤患者进行CT和超声检查的结果显示,在诊断剖腹手术中发现的腹膜后淋巴结肿大方面,二者具有相似的敏感性和特异性。因此,选择哪种成像方式可能会受到其他因素的影响,如肠道气体过多、术后伤口、腹部手术夹、恶病质或肥胖等。
