Lymphedema of the lower extremities: Evaluation by microcolloidal imaging
- 1. Thomas Jefferson Univ. Hospital, Philadelphia, PA (USA)
Description
Contrast lymphangiography has been the traditional radiographic method for imaging the lymphatic system of the lower extremities. Because of the difficulty in performing the procedure and its potential side effects, radionuclide lymphangiography is a safe and reliable alternative. Technetium-99m labeled to antimony trisulfide colloid was used in nine patients presenting with lymphedema of the lower extremities. The procedure was relatively simple to perform, and no adverse effects were noted
