Fig. 6From: Anatomic, computed tomographic, and ultrasonographic assessment of the lymph nodes in presumed healthy adult cats: the abdomen, pelvis, and hindlimbIleocecal lymph nodes. A Image of the dissection showing the localization of the ileocecal lymph nodes (arrow) near the ileocolic junction, along the ileocolic vessels (asterisk). The ileum (I), cecum (Cc), and colon (Co) are indicated. B US image showing two elongated and hypoechoic ileocecal lymph nodes (between cursors) between the ascending colon (Co) and ileum (I). C, D CT images indicating the localization of the ileocecal lymph node (arrows), which is isoattenuating in the precontrast image (C) and with homogeneous enhancement in the postcontrast image (D). The colon (Co), ileum (I), jejunal loops (J), right (RK) and left (LK) kidneys, and spleen (Sp) are indicatedBack to article page
