Sphericity of lymph nodes using 3D-CT predicts metastasis in lung cancer patients
Abstract Background The presence of mediastinal lymph node metastasis is important because it is related to the treatment and prognosis of lung cancer. Although prevalently used, evaluation of lymph nodes is not always reliable. We introduced sphericity as a criterion for evaluating morphologic diff...
