The Lymph Node Stations in the Chest

Check out the IASLC lymph node map here:

Check out the Radiographics article I mentioned here:

Textbooks I like for chest radiology—
Med students and all residents: Felson’s Principles of Chest Roentgenology

Radiology residents: Thoracic Imaging: Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Radiology

Thoracic radiology fellows: Muller’s Imaging of the Chest: Expert Radiology Series

Great explaination. Please makeore slides for sub carinal area anatomy-clinically relevance.

As a PGY2 rad onc resident, this video was SUPER helpful for contouring. Thank you thank you

[patrickhanks]

Very nice video, thank you.

The IASLC nodal scheme describes the changeover between lower paratracheal and hilar node stations at the lower margin of the azygos vein on the right, and the upper rim of the left main pulmonary artery on the left, not the carina as you mention in the video.

I appreciate the added description of other nodal disease not discussed in the IASLC framework.

Beautiful video, wonderfully explained, made it so easy to comprehend along with the precise definitions of the stations by IASLC 👍

[briangilcrease]

great review, succinct and exceptionally well demonstrated on multiplanar views. thx!

[kamraninamdar]

beautifully described .. thankyou so much

[francescoarico]

Top! Thank you very much. Greetings from Sicily

[mubashirhaq]

very succinctly explained...thanks a lot...

Out of curiosity, are infraclavicular lymph nodes examined / visible on a thorax CT? You mentioned supraclavicular nodes, but not infra.
Not a medical professional, just an enthusiast - so excuse my ignorance :)

Very nice lecture..thanks alot..keep go on

[akulmunjal]

Great Video; super helpful. Do you by any chance know any good practice questions to re-enforce the material?

[pablovargas]

Great video! Comes in super handy for a PG-2 Rad Res. Do you have articles like that but for abdominal node stations?

[dr.kapilbabbar]

love your class sir really excellent.. i don't have words to describe

Hi Rishi, Thanks for sharing a nice talk. Just to ask regarding nodal chart you refereed, it is 8th edition. Are you still using same chart or any updated version (as this talk was uploaded about 3 years ago)?
Secondly, i couldn't find any satisfactory answer about few subcentimeter thoracic nodes we see in our routine practice in patient with inflammatory conditions or in known malignancy situations. Referring services expect us to comment on these particularly on 1st / baseline study.

I would need to understand how to see ANTERIOR MEDIASTINUM masses in a Thoracic CT...Thank you

Great video, Dr. Agrawal. What screen casting application and audio equipment do you use to make your lectures? Keep up the great content.
