Combined CT texture analysis and nodal axial ratio for detection of nodal metastasis in esophageal cancer.
CONCLUSION: The combination of CTTA features and the axial ratio of LNs has the potential to differentiate metastatic from benign LNs and improves the sensitivity for detection of LN metastases in ESCC.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The combination of CT texture analysis and nodal axial ratio has improved CT sensitivity (up to 87.5%) for the diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes in esophageal cancer.
