| Popis: | PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) with microbubbles to detect metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) for treatment planning and prognosis. METHODS For the metastatic LN model, ground VX2 tumor tissues were injected subcutaneously in 12 rabbits, just below the right hind limb. The rabbits were classified into three groups based on the LN area: group A (n=4, >1.9 cm2 ), group B (n=4, 1-1.9 cm2 ), and group C (n=4 |
