| Popis: | WOS: 000384048300015 PubMed ID: 27416101 The jugulodigastric (JD) and juguloomohyoid (JO) lymph nodes are levels II and III cervical lymph nodes corresponding to the upper and middle internal jugular chains, respectively. The aim of this study is to delineate the sonographic properties of these two nodes, which are commonly encountered in routine neck sonography, in subjects with normal neck ultrasound findings. Atypical findings can make it difficult to differentiate benign from malignant lymph nodes. The JD and JO lymph nodes of 126 subjects were examined by ultrasonography, and size, shape, presence of echogenic hilus and Doppler activity were recorded. Among the lymph nodes examined, 31.6% were not elliptical. Proportionally more of the JO than the JD nodes were round; there was a significant difference in roundness index between them (P |
