Lenf nodu ölçümü ve morfolojik değerlendirme BT bulguları

Özet

Lenf nodlarını doğru ölçmek, hem olası hastalık yükünü tanımlamak hem de zaman içindeki değişimi karşılaştırmak için gerekir. BT'de kısa eksen, nodun uzun eksenine dik ölçülür; ancak tek bir çap eşiği bütün istasyonlar ve tümörler için malignite tanısı koydurmaz. RECIST kriterleri onkolojik çalışmalarda tedavi yanıtını değerlendirmek için standarttır; lenf nodu metastazının tanısında ise görüntülenen nodların boyutu yanında morfolojik değerlendirme de kullanılır. Lenf nodlarının doğru tanımlanması evreleme açısından önemlidir; BT’de boyut ve morfolojiye dayalı ölçütlerin tanısal doğruluğu sınırlı olabilir.

Faz ve pencere

Portal tanısal: BT’de lenf nodu boyutu kısa eksen çapıyla değerlendirilir.

Önerilen pencereler: Batın (G 400 / M 50), Mediasten (G 350 / M 50), Yumuşak doku (G 400 / M 40).

BT bulguları

Ölçüm çizgisi nodun gerçek uzun eksenine dik olmalı; eğik aksiyel kesitte koronal veya sagittal rekonstrüksiyon daha doğru kısa ekseni gösterebilir.
Aynı istasyondaki nodları damar kesiti, bağırsak duvarı, gonad veya peritoneal implanttan ayırmak için çok düzlemli devamlılık ve anatomik komşuluk izlenir.
Lenf nodunun yuvarlaklaşması, düzensiz kenarları ve nod dışına uzanımı gibi morfolojik değişiklikler maligniteyi düşündürür; ancak boyut kriterlerinin tek başına tanısal değeri sınırlıdır ve morfolojik özellikler ayırıcı tanıda destekleyici rol oynar.
İstasyon adı anatomik haritayla verilir: örneğin sol paraaortik, sağ alt paratrakeal, subkarinal veya obturator zincir.
Seri incelemede aynı nodun aynı anatomik istasyondaki kısa ekseni, aynı rekonstrüksiyon kalınlığı ve benzer düzlemde kıyaslanır.
Kontrastsız toraks BT’de nodal kalsifikasyon veya büyük damarlardan yüksek atenüasyon benignite lehine bir görüntüleme ipucu olarak tanımlanmıştır; morfolojik BT ölçütlerinin tanısal doğruluğu sınırlıdır.

Ölçütler ve sınıflamalar

RECIST 1.1 patolojik nod eşiği: kısa eksen ≥10 mm
RECIST 1.1 ölçülebilir hedef nod: RECIST değerlendirmesinde lenf nodları kısa eksenlerinden ölçülür.
RECIST 1.1 patolojik olmayan nod: kısa eksen <10 mm

Normalde

Lenf nodlarının BT değerlendirmesinde kısa eksen çapı ve morfolojik özellikler dikkate alınır. Aynı kesitte nodun kısa eksen çizgisini, uzun eksene dik olacak biçimde yerleştir ve önceki incelemede aynı damar dalları ile vertebra düzeyine göre eşleştir.

Normal BT ile kıyasla

Aynı bölgenin, kaynak veri setinde patoloji içermediği belirtilen bir BT incelemesini kesit kesit kaydırın; organ sınırlarını açarak anatomiyi hasta görüntüsüyle karşılaştırın. Küçük rastlantısal bulgular tümüyle dışlanmamıştır.

Kaynak: TotalSegmentator v2.01 veri seti (Wasserthal ve ark., Radiology: Artificial Intelligence 2023), CC BY 4.0, vaka s0119; organ sınırları veri setinin otomatik segmentasyonundan, birleştirilerek sadeleştirildi. Görüntüler 2,5 mm kesit aralığına yeniden örneklendi.

Ayırıcı tanı

Toraks BT'de damarlar ile hiler ve mediastinal lenf nodları anatomik olarak yakın bulunur; kontrastsız görüntülerde nodda kalsifikasyon veya büyük damarlara göre daha yüksek atenüasyon benign hastalık lehine yorumlanabilir.
İnce bağırsak ansı değerlendirilirken ilişkili lenfadenopati de göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
Peritoneal implant: bağırsak serozası ya da periton yüzeyine oturur, nodal zincir boyunca beklenen yerleşimi izlemez.
Postoperatif lenfosel, cerrahi sonrası görülebilen bir komplikasyondur.

Tuzaklar

Lenf nodu boyut değerlendirmesinde kısa eksen çapı kullanılır; kısa ve uzun eksen oranı da morfolojik değerlendirmeye katılabilir.
RECIST sınırlarını her anatomik bölge için evrensel malignite sınırı gibi kullanma; tümör türüne ve istasyona özgü ölçütler değişebilir.
Nazofarenks kanserinde, kısa ekseni 10 mm’den küçük küçük lenf nodlarında okült mikrometastaz bulunabilir; boyut tek başına metastazı dışlamaz.
