MODERN POSSIBILITIES OF RADIOLOGICAL IMAGING OF LYMPH NODES IN THE ARMPIT
Have been analyzed of content of scientific papers, patents, and the results of their own research status of the lymph nodes in the armpit of adult healthy volunteers and patients Oncology Center, suffering from breast cancer. Showed a high predictive value information on the status of the lymph nodes in the axillary regions in malignant tumors localized in the chest area. In particular, it is shown high value of the information about the state of the lymph nodes in breast cancer. The point is that the need to control this disease state nodes almost to the end of life of the patient. It is shown that to date, the legal standards of radiation diagnosis can not offer a methodology that provides secure lifelong monitoring of the status of lymph nodes in the area. At the same time, it pointed out that for several years monitoring the state of various human body parts is held perfectly safe using of thermovision. It is shown that the conventional technique of infrared thermography carried out with a thermal imager, ensures the identification of areas of local hyperthermia in the underarm area only if it is expressed in cancer metastasis in lymph nodes, but does not provide identification of the lymph nodes was normal.
