Updated IASLC Lymph Node Map for Chest CT Staging
Radiology AssistantJun 8
The Radiology Assistant has published a revised mediastinal lymph node map based on the IASLC classification, designed to standardize reporting on chest CT for lung cancer staging (exact figures not reported in source).
- This educational resource translates the IASLC (International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) lymph node stations into an annotated CT atlas.
- The primary purpose is to provide a practical, image-rich reference for radiologists to accurately classify nodal stations on cross-sectional imaging.
- As a blog-based educational atlas, it does not present new research data or validation but rather consolidates existing classification standards.
