Nodal staging is an integral part of determining therapy and prognosis in most
primary tumors and the evaluation of lymph nodes involves accurate anatomical
localization followed by characterization. While there is an abundance of surgical
literature highlighting the distribution of regional lymph nodes in various primary
tumors, a comprehensive imaging text highlighting the anatomical nodal stations
and their involvement in various primary tumors is lacking. The current atlas
attempts to highlight nodal anatomy by way of color illustrations and color-coded
topographical depiction on cross-sectional imaging studies. We hope the content
will be useful and informative to a wide range of readers fi lling in the void about
nodal anatomy.
