Abstract

Imaging in the lymphatic system has gone through much advancement over the past 70 years since its beginnings. In this review, we will examine the modalities available for lymphatic imaging. We will explore the modern uses of early modalities, such as ultrasound as well as more modern modalities, such as Positron-Emission Tomography (PET). We will also describe some of the new modalities currently in development and their potential uses for the future as well as some of the current imaging modalities being studied in animal models.

摘要

自 70 年前起源以来，淋巴系统的成像技术已经取得了很大的进展。在这篇综述中，我们将检查可用于淋巴成像的各种方式。我们将探讨早期方式（如超声）以及更现代的方式（如正电子发射断层扫描（PET））的现代用途。我们还将描述一些当前正在开发的新方式及其未来的潜在用途，以及一些当前正在动物模型中研究的成像方式。
