Radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy is a useful technique for differentiating lymphedema from
other causes of swelling, and may sometimes be useful for delineating collateral lymphatics …

BACKGROUND: The elementary diagnostic method for the detection of lymph circulation
abnormalities in extremities is lymphoscintigraphy. This method provides information on the …

Lymphedema—edema that results from chronic lymphatic insufficiency—is a chronic
debilitating disease that is frequently misdiagnosed, treated too late, or not treated at all …

Lymphoscintigraphy was performed in 128 patients with primary lymphedema, in 91 patients
with secondary lymphedema, and in 19 healthy volunteers. A total of 457 extremities were …

This is the second of two pictorial essays on radionuclide imaging of the lymphatic system
and will focus on evaluation of extremity lymphoedema using lymphoscintigraphy …

The objective of this presentation is to discuss practical issues related to the use of indirect
lymphography and lymphoscintigraphy in the differential diagnosis of lymphedema. Indirect …

Purpose The primary difficulty in evaluating and treating peripheral lymphedema is
visualization of the lymphatics. Functional lymphatic studies have been performed on …

Introduction Lymphoscintigraphy is the gold standard for imaging in the diagnosis of
peripheral lymphedema. However, there are no clear guidelines to standardize usage …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six consecutive patients with upper and lower extremity
edema who had lymphoscintigraphy(quan titative and qualitative) were included in this …

Confirmation of the diagnosis of lymphedema often requires lymphangiography, a
procedure that is painful for the patient and technically demanding. Radioisotope …
