SA= Short axis measurement
LA= Long axis measurement
*: Sensitivity and specificity data reported only.
**: Data is per node basis, per patient data was not recorded. Numbers in brackets reflect sensitivity and specificity whenever a node identified at surgery was in the same or adjacent nodal station. This is probably the more accurate number.
