Ultrasound of lymph nodes at the Eskulap clinic in London. Ultrasound examination of enlarged lymph nodes helps to assess the patient’s condition and the precision of diagnosis.

Ultrasound examination of lymph nodes in London is performed by a specialist radiologist.

Ultrasonography of lymph nodes is the best test that allows you to assess their appearance, size, shape and relationship with the surrounding tissues. The most common reason for ordering an ultrasound scan of lymph nodes is their enlargement, pain, or skin changes in the area of ​​the lymph node. The most common cause of lymphadenopathy is inflammation where the nodes are located. The most dangerous causes of enlarged nodes are tumors and neoplasms, caused by diseases such as Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or metastasis to the lymph nodes.

Ultrasound examination of the lymph nodes can improve the precision and quality of diagnosis. A doctor’s palpation is one of the basic examinations of the lymph nodes, which allows you to feel for lumps and swollen lymph nodes. However, unlike the examination of lymph nodes with ultrasound and ultrasound, palpation can only detect superficial changes and is based on the physician’s perception, so it is highly subjective. Ultrasound examination of the lymph nodes is more accurate because it assesses their morphology, which allows for a more accurate diagnosis. A frequent indication for ultrasound examination of lymph nodes is also their monitoring during treatment or the assessment of the resolution of changes after the end of therapy.

An ultrasound examination should be performed to exclude a disease.

In an ultrasound scan of lymph nodes in London, a radiologist can pre-distinguish reactive (reactive, enlarged due to inflammation) from lymph nodes suspected of having tumors, in order to initially assess which ones require urgent diagnosis.

The lymph nodes most often examined are the nodes of the neck area, but also the axillary, supra- and subclavian, and inguinal nodes. If you observe enlarged lymph nodes, usually manifested as subcutaneous, often painful and shifting small nodules, they should be examined by ultrasound. The ultrasound image of pathologically changed lymph nodes often allows us to suspect why they are enlarged, sometimes also suggesting whether the disease is acute or chronic.

Ultrasound examination of lymph nodes – indications

Enlarged lymph nodes larger than 10 mm should be examined by ultrasound. When patients complain of pain in the area of the lymph nodes, an ultrasound examination should also be performed. Lymph node pain may be associated with the lymph nodes swelling quickly. Moreover, if skin lesions are found within the lymph nodes, it is also an indicator for performing an ultrasound examination of the lymph nodes.

Not all symptoms that indicate the need for an ultrasound scan of the lymph nodes are associated with a serious disease. However, regardless of which lymph nodes are enlarged, an ultrasound should be performed to determine the cause of the problem. Bacteria, viral infection, diseases such as leukemia or lupus (autoimmune disease).
