Medially: upper border of manubrium. Medial border Upper part: medial extension to include carotid artery & internal jugular vein, excluding thyroid gland. Lower part: 1R & 1L are separated by midline of trachea. Anterior border Upper part: deep surface of sternomastoid muscle & deep cervical fascia. Lower part: posterior parts of ribs & clavicle excluding sternohyoid & sternothyroid muscles. Posterolateral border Upper part: anterior & lateral border of anterior scalene muscle. Lower part: medial anterior border of subclavian artery. Posteromedial border Upper part: vertebral vessels & esophagus. Lower part : anterior borders of subclavian artery.
  • 4. Station 2: Upper Paratracheal Nodes Border Definition Upper border Midline: upper border of manubrium. Lateral: apex of lung & pleural space. Inferior border 2R: intersection of caudal margin of brachiocephalic vein with trachea, which can extend obliquely across trachea. 2L: superior border of aortic arch. Medial borders Vertical line passing tangentially along left lateral tracheal border (not midline). Lateral borders Lung apex. Anterior border Above sternal notch: imaginary horizontal line from most anterior point of lung, pleura. Inferior to this level: posterior to vessels, imaginary line drawn to midpoint of vessel in anterior to posterior plane, contact station 3a. Posterior border Imaginary horizontal line extending from posterior wall of trachea
  • 5. Station 3a: Prevascular Nodes Border Definition Superior border Apex of chest (upper border of manubrium). Inferior border Carina. Lateral border Lung Anterior border Left brachiocephalic vein is included within station 3a, until it reaches superior junction of right & left brachiocephalic vessels. Posterior border Above aortic arch: limited by station 2R & 2L, but excludes great vessels (imaginary line joins midpoint of vessel in anterior to posterior plane). At aortic arch: separated from station 6 by imaginary horizontal line running from anterior aspect of aortic arch Below aortic arch: separated from station 5 by imaginary horizontal line extending from anterior wall of ascending aorta on left side
  • 6. Station 3p: Retrotracheal Nodes Border Definition Superior border Apex of chest, extend above superior border of station 3a, as apex of lung on right & left side are not on same slice so more inferior of 2 apices is considered as upper border. Inferior border Carina, abuts station 7. Lateral borders Pleural envelope. Right border Medial border of azygos vein (azygos vein as it moves anteriorly is also excluded from nodal station, as it is for station 4R). Anterior border Imaginary horizontal line extending along posterior wall of trachea. Posterior border Soft tissues surrounding esophagus with esophagus being excluded from this nodal station Along anterior & lateral borders of vertebral body until it reaches imaginary horizontal line running 1 cm posterior to anterior aspect of vertebral body.
  • 7. Station 4R: Right Lower Paratracheal Nodes Border Definition Superior border Intersection of caudal margin of brachiocephalic vein with trachea. Essentially station 4R continues on from station 2R. Inferior border Lower border of azygos vein (on sagittal image) Medial border Imaginary line running vertically from left lateral tracheal border Lateral border Superiorly: pleural envelope. Inferiorly: medial to arch of azygos vein. Anterior border Superior vena cava (SVC) & aorta, in between extending halfway between 2 vessels Posterior border Imaginary horizontal line extending from posterior wall of trachea.
  • 8. Station 4L: Left Lower Paratracheal Nodes Border Definition Upper border Superior border of aortic arch, being a direct continuation from station 2L. Lower border Upper margin of left main pulmonary artery. Lateral border Superiorly: medial aspect of aorta arch. Inferiorly: ligamentum arteriosum (imaginary line from most posterior part of ascending aorta to most anterior part of descending aorta) Medial border Imaginary line running vertically from left lateral tracheal border. Anterior border Superiorly: aorta arch. Inferiorly: ascending aorta. Posterior border Imaginary horizontal line extending from posterior wall of trachea.
  • 9. Station 5: Subaortic Nodes (aortopulmonary window) Border Definition Superior border Lower border of aortic arch, station 6 abuts station 5 at its superior border.
