CT reconstruction with thick slices not only underestimates lymph node size but also reduces data reproducibility in colorectal cancer.

CONCLUSION: Thick reconstruction slices in CT can result in an underestimation of LN size and reduce data reproducibility. When measuring LN size, a thin reconstruction slice would be recommended based on targeted LN size.
