Hepatic lymphography by intra-parenchymal injection of four to ten millilitres (ml) of lipiodol ultrafluid, our modification of functional hepatography, performed on sixty one patients helped study lymphatic dynamics of liver. In conditions associated with significant hepatic venous outflow obstructions, such as hepatic cirrhosis, inflammatory diseases of liver and primary or secondary malignant lesions of the liver, this study delineated liver lymphatics and portal and para aortic lymph nodes. In one case mediastinal nodes were also delineated by flow of lipiodol from the bare area of the liver via trans-diaphragmatic and pleural lymphatic. The lymphangio-architecture of the opacified nodes depicted the nature of pathology inflicting them and the liver. Lipiodol in the lymphatic system, staying longer than the freely diffusible aqueous contrast, provided more detail and better information.
通过实质内注射4至10毫升超液态碘油进行肝淋巴造影，这是我们对功能性肝造影的改良方法，对61例患者进行的此项检查有助于研究肝脏的淋巴动力学。在伴有严重肝静脉流出道梗阻的情况下，如肝硬化、肝脏炎症性疾病以及肝脏原发性或继发性恶性病变，该研究描绘了肝脏淋巴管以及门静脉和主动脉旁淋巴结。在1例病例中，碘油从肝脏裸区经膈肌和胸膜淋巴管流动，还勾勒出了纵隔淋巴结。显影淋巴结的淋巴管结构描绘了导致这些病变以及肝脏病变的病理性质。淋巴系统中的碘油比可自由扩散的水性造影剂停留时间更长，提供了更多细节和更好的信息。
