Table 2 Morphologic comparison of the metastatic and nonmetastatic lymph nodes
From: Sphericity of lymph nodes using 3D-CT predicts metastasis in lung cancer patients
Metastatic LN (n = 63) | Nonmetastatic LN (n = 141) | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
Short diameter (mm) | 8.2 ± 3.7 | 5.4 ± 1.7 | < 0.001 |
Short-axis / long-axis diameter | 0.68 ± 0.17 | 0.59 ± 0.15 | 0.001 |
Volume (mm3) | 1679 ± 4509 | 552 ± 497 | 0.052 |
Sphericity | 0.72 ± 0.10 | 0.60 ± 0.10 | < 0.001 |
