Fig. 3From: Anatomic, computed tomographic, and ultrasonographic assessment of the lymph nodes in presumed healthy adult cats: the abdomen, pelvis, and hindlimbSplenic lymph node. A Image of the dissection showing its localization (arrow) in the splenic hilus along the splenic vein (SV). The spleen (Sp) is partially visible. B US image showing the splenic lymph node (between cursors) at the splenic hilus. The spleen (Sp) and a partially visible splenic vein (asterisk) are indicated. C, D CT images indicating the localization of the splenic lymph node (short arrow), which is slightly hypoattenuating with a hypoattenuating center in the precontrast image (C) and showing slightly heterogeneous contrast enhancement (D). The splenic vein (long arrow), the pancreas (P), and the spleen (Sp) are indicatedBack to article page
