Performance of node reporting and data system (node-RADS): a preliminary study in cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Node Reporting and Data System (Node-RADS) was proposed and can be applied to lymph nodes (LNs) across all anatomical sites. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of Node-RADS in cervical cancer patients.

Methods

A total of 81 cervical cancer patients treated with radical hysterectomy and LN dissection were retrospectively enrolled. Node-RADS evaluations were performed by two radiologists on preoperative MRI scans for all patients, both at the LN level and patient level. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were employed to evaluate the distribution differences in size and configuration between patients with and without LN metastasis (LNM) in various regions. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC) were us
