Sonographic appearance of normal lymph nodes.
Normal lymph nodes appear sonographically as somewhat flattened hypoechogenic structures. Chronic inflammation, obesity, and degenerative changes leading to benign fatty replacement of lymphoid tissue are responsible for the variations seen with high-resolution ultrasonography. These fatty deposits, beginning in the center of the lymph node and progressing toward the periphery, are easily recognized as highly reflective defects in the hypoechogenic lymphoid tissue.

Design for user efficiency in a dedicated ICU viewing station.
The intensive care unit (ICU) is one application where significant benefit is expected from the use of digital technology in the acquisition, management and presentation of images. However, the potential benefits should not be outweighed by disadvantages of current digital technology. One of the bottlenecks is the efficiency of image viewing using a workstation, especially if this viewing station is implemented using affordable commonly available hardware. In this paper we describe the design concepts of a relatively low-cost but efficient viewing station for chest images, and discuss clinical experience with this system at an ICU ward. The user interface has been optimized towards the specific patterns of ICU image viewing. By anticipating user requests and preparing images during idle times of the computer, the mean image access time could be reduced by a factor of 4, while most images could be presented instantaneously. Information from the hospital information system (HIS) is exploited in the user interface, and a simplified PAC-HIS coupling has been implemented for the simultaneous presentation of images and reports.
