A Real-time and Computerized Sonographic Reporting System in Predicting Malignant Cervical Lymphadenopathy

Far Eastern Memorial Hospital189 enrolled

Overview

The investigaotors want to establish a real-time and computerized score reporting system based on the significant predictors of the measured sonographic parameters and demographic data.

One hundred eight patients with neck lymphadenopathy, receiving ultrasonography and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA), were used to construct a predictive model. This model was validated by another independent patient cohort.
