Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography is a high-resolution imaging technique that has emerged as the preferred method for evaluating lymphatic anatomy and flow dynamics due to its precise anatomical detail. The lymphatic system has a complex anatomical distribution, and variability is common among individuals with cardiac abnormalities, particularly congenital heart disease. Lymphatic imaging has recently been revolutionized by the introduction of MR lymphangiography. However, challenges in interpreting these images persist due to limited availability of this modality, and the expertise required for its performance and interpretation, especially in pediatric patients. We aim to outline a simple algorithm employed in our practice for interpreting MR lymphangiography images for pediatric radiologists.
动态对比增强磁共振淋巴造影是一种高分辨率成像技术，由于其精确的解剖细节，已成为评估淋巴解剖结构和血流动力学的首选方法。淋巴系统具有复杂的解剖分布，在患有心脏异常尤其是先天性心脏病的个体中，个体差异很常见。磁共振淋巴造影的引入最近彻底改变了淋巴成像。然而，由于这种检查方式的可用性有限，以及其操作和解读所需的专业知识，尤其是在儿科患者中，解读这些图像仍存在挑战。我们旨在概述我们在实践中用于为儿科放射科医生解读磁共振淋巴造影图像的一种简单算法。
