The potential of computed tomography indirect lymphography (CT-indirect lymphography) and radiographic indirect lymphography to demonstrate the draining lymphatic vessels and sentinel lymph node of normal mammary glands was tested in 31 healthy female cats. The lymphatic drainage of each mammary gland was studied initially by CT-indirect lymphography after intramammary injection of 0.5 ml of iopamidol, followed by images acquired at 1, 5, 15, and 30 min after injection. One day after CT-indirect lymphography, the lymph drainage of the mammary gland was assessed using radiographic in direct lymphography af terintramammary injection of 0.5 ml of ethiodized oil followed by radiographs made at 1, 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 min after injection. The time between intramammary injection and opacification of the draining mammary lymphatic vessels and the sentinel lymph node, the duration of adequate opacification of the draining mammary lymphatic vessels and of the sentinel lymph node and also the number and course of draining mammary lymphatic vessels and location of sentinel lymph node were compared for CT-indirect lymphography vs. radiographic indirect lymphography in each examined gland. This results suggest that radiographic indirect lymphography is easy to perform and can be used for accurate demonstration of the draining lymphatic pathways of mammary glands in radiographs made at 5-30 min after injection. However, CT-indirect lymphography was able to better demonstrate small lymphatic vessels and accurately define the exact topography of the sentinel lymph node in images acquired at 1 min after injection.
在31只健康的雌性猫身上测试了计算机断层扫描间接淋巴造影（CT间接淋巴造影）和放射间接淋巴造影显示正常乳腺引流淋巴管和前哨淋巴结的潜力。在乳腺内注射0.5 ml碘帕醇后，首先通过CT间接淋巴造影研究每个乳腺的淋巴引流，然后在注射后1、5、15和30分钟采集图像。在CT间接淋巴造影一天后，在乳腺内注射0.5 ml乙碘油后，通过放射间接淋巴造影评估乳腺的淋巴引流，然后在注射后1、5、15、30、45和60分钟拍摄X光片。比较了每个检查腺体的CT间接淋巴造影与放射间接淋巴造影在乳腺内注射到引流乳腺淋巴管和前哨淋巴结显影之间的时间、引流乳腺淋巴管和前哨淋巴结充分显影的持续时间，以及引流乳腺淋巴管的数量和走行以及前哨淋巴结的位置。结果表明，放射间接淋巴造影操作简便，可用于在注射后5 - 30分钟拍摄的X光片中准确显示乳腺的引流淋巴途径。然而，CT间接淋巴造影能够更好地显示小淋巴管，并在注射后1分钟采集的图像中准确确定前哨淋巴结的确切位置。
