    NodeAxillaryNode axillaryThe axillary nodes are a group of lymph nodes located
    in the axillary (or armpit)
    region of the body.
    Auxillary nodes perform the vital function of filtration
    and conduction of lymph from the upper
    limbs, pectoral region, and upper back.
    There are five axillary lymph node groups,
    namely the lateral (humeral), anterior (pectoral),
    posterior (subscapular), central
    and apical nodes.


    Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
    NodeEnlargedNode enlargedSwollen lymph nodes usually occur as a result of
    infection from bacteria or viruses.
    Rarely, swollen lymph nodes are caused by cancer.
    Lymph nodes, also called lymph glands, play a vital
    role in the body's ability
    to fight off infections.
    Lymph nodes function as filters, trapping viruses,
    bacteria and other causes of illnesses
    prior to infecting the body.

    Common areas subject to swollen lymph nodes include
    the neck, under chin, armpits and groin.


    Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
    NodeFocalCortexNode focal cortexThe mammogram and/or ultrasound show enlargement
    of the cortex.
    Metastatic deposits accumulate in the lymph node
    peripheral area, causing enlargement of the cortex,
    usually focal (at early stages), or uniform.

    NodeInfraclavicularNode infraclavicular(Infraclavicular labeled at upper left.) One or two
    deltopectoral lymph nodes (or
    infraclavicular nodes) are found beside the cephalic
    vein, between the pectoralis
    major and deltoideus, immediately below the clavicle
    .
    Lymph nodes are situated in the course of the external
    collecting trunks of the arm.

    nodes found just above the clavicle
    or collarbone, toward the hollow of the neck.
    Lymph nodes are responsible for filtering the lymphatic
    fluid of unwanted debris
    and bacteria.

    The qualitative methods used for the diagnosis of
    lymph node metastases on US include a round morphology,
    hypoechogenicity, loss of central hilum, or eccentric
    cortical hypertrophy.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
