Popis: Ultrasonography is a valuable diagnostic tool for examination of the abdomen. Normal lymph nodes are often indistinct during routine abdominal ultrasonographic examination. Lymph nodes altered by infiltrative or inflammatory processes may become sonographically visible due to enlargement and/or altered echogenicity. A working knowledge of the anatomic distribution of lymph nodes and the scheme of lymphatic drainage is important for increasing the sensitivity and specificity of abdominal lymph node assessment during ultrasonographic examination.
