Dual energy computed tomography for detection of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: Dual-energy CT contributes beneficially to regional lymph node assessment in HCC patients. Combination of MSAD with IC, NIC, or λ HU values in the PP is superior to using any single parameter alone. Active hepatitis does not deteriorate the capabilities for characterization of metastatic lymph nodes. PMID: 31086466 [PubMed - in process]
