Abstract
This prospective study of 50 patients was designed to evaluate the effect of computed tomographic section spacing on the detection of retroperitoneal adenopathy. Contiguous 1 cm thick sections were obtained in all patients and compared with scans obtained at 2 cm intervals in these same patients. In 45 of the 50 patients, there was agreement between the 2 sets of scans; in only 2 of the 50 cases were there major disagreements. Scans obtained at 2 cm intervals are nearly as accurate as contiguous scans at 1 cm intervals in the detection of retroperitoneal adenopathy.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
