Discrimination of superficial lymph nodes using ultrasonography and tissue metabolomics coupled with machine learning by Lu Li, Xinyue Wang, Hongyan Deng, Wenjuan Lu, Yasu Zhou, Xinhua Ye, Yong Li, Jie Wang

“…IntroductionDiagnosing the types of malignant lymphoma could help determine the most suitable treatment, anticipate the probability of recurrence and guide long-term monitoring and follow-up care.MethodsWe evaluated the differences in benign, lymphoma and metastasis superficial lymph nodes using ultrasonography and tissue metabolomics.ResultsOur findings indicated that three ultrasonographic features, blood supply pattern, cortical echo, and cortex elasticity, hold potential in differentiating malignant lymph nodes from benign ones, and the shape and corticomedullary boundary emerged as significant indicators for distinguishing between metastatic and lymphoma groups. …”
