2023年5月11日 · Axilla is a pyramidal-in-shape “virtual cavity” housing multiple anatomical structures and connecting the upper limb with the trunk. To the best of our knowledge, in the pertinent literature, a detailed sonographic protocol to comprehensively assess the axillary region in daily practice is lacking.

Studies have shown that “positive” axillary lymph nodes are commonly missed by your breast surgeon’s physical examination. A 5-minute ultrasound of your axilla can more accurately find cancer in these nodes. A pre-operative axillary ultrasound is …

Ultrasound showing benign left axillary lymph node with cortical thickness less than 3mm and preserved fatty hilum. Ultrasound is the best modality for characterizing lymph nodes allowing for evaluation of shape, cortical thickness and presence or absence of fatty hilum.

Ultrasound assessment of the axilla proves to be an important and common referral. Irrespective of the background of the ultrasound practitioner, it should not matter who undertakes the assessment of the axilla.

With the increased use of ultrasound (US) as a screening tool and as more advanced cross-sectional imaging detects incidental nonpalpable and clinically occult axillary findings, further evaluation with biopsy is often necessary to obtain a definitive diagnosis.

2013年2月27日 · Recent reports indicate a lack of survival benefit for axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) versus sentinel lymph node biopsy in early breast cancer.

2015年7月1日 · Ultrasound has two roles in visualizing the axilla: a) to characterize the abnormal lymph nodes, either identified by US or by clinical examination or other imaging technique and b) to help axillar SLN identification. In both circumstances, ultrasound helps the biopsy of the nodes.
