Hi all,

Student interested in rad onc here (yeah yeah, I know the sky in falling but w/e). I’ve been attending tumor boards regularly, but one thing I’ve noticed is that I always get lost whenever they mention lymph node anatomy and the treatments conducted depending on which lymph nodes are affected. I admit anatomy wasn’t my best subject, but I was wondering if there was any comprehensive resources that 1) cover lymph node anatomy, specifically on CTs, MRIs, etc. and 2) cover guidelines for treating lymph nodes

Thanks!

I think you're stuck hitting Netter's.

Free plug: e-Anatomy: radiologic anatomy atlas of the human body

This is the best anatomy resource for radiology and rad onc residents.

Lymph node regions are in the atlases as well.

I have a book called "A Guide for Delineation of Lymph Node Clinical Target Volume in Radiation Therapy" which is pretty solid in terms of defining what each level is, with slice by slice CT pictures. First author G. Ausili Cefaro

Head and neck is harnsberger, that is the definitive atlas and honestly it is beyond amazing
