Abstract:
Research in lymph node imaging has made great progress in recent years. With the increasing in-depth researches and clinical applications of MRI, PET and molecular imaging, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of detecting lymph node metastases have also been improved. Incorporating techniques such as various pulse sequences, contrast enhancement and lymph-node contrast agents has made MRI a superior method for detecting lymph node metastasis of breast cancer in clinical settings.
