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 lymphography demonstrates the filling of initial lymphatics and of lymph collectors. Lymphoscintigraphy is utilized to generate morphological and functional imaging information about the lymphatic drainage. For the functional evaluation of lymphatic drainage, quantitative measurement of the lymph node uptake can be performed. The practical implications of these diagnostic interventions are discussed.
本报告的目的是讨论与间接淋巴管造影和淋巴闪烁造影在淋巴水肿鉴别诊断中的应用相关的实际问题。间接淋巴管造影可显示初始淋巴管和淋巴管收集器的充盈情况。淋巴闪烁造影用于生成有关淋巴引流的形态和功能成像信息。为了对淋巴引流进行功能评估，可以对淋巴结摄取进行定量测量。本文将讨论这些诊断干预措施的实际意义。
