Cervical necrotic lymphadenopathy: a diagnostic tree analysis model based on CT and clinical findings

ConclusionsThe DTA model based on CT imaging and clinical findings may be helpful for the diagnosis of cervical necrotic lymphadenopathy.Key Points• The diagnostic tree analysis model based on CT may be useful for differential diagnosis of cervical necrotic lymphadenopathy.• Perinodal infiltration, number of necrotic foci, percentage of necrotic lymph nodes, degree of necrosis, margin and shape of necrotic portion, lymph node shape, and enhancement ratio were the most significant predictors.
