No radiographic technique is capable of detecting microscopic disease and so the lymphangiogram must always be expected to have more false-negative results when compared with the results of surgical staging. It is apparent, however, that gross nodal metastases can be detected with a high degree of accuracy for selected genitourinary tumors. In spite of advances in diagnostic imaging, the bipedal lymphangiogram continues to have a place in the staging of genitourinary tumors.
没有任何放射学技术能够检测出微观病变,因此与手术分期结果相比,淋巴管造影术的假阴性结果必然更多。然而,很明显,对于某些泌尿生殖系统肿瘤,大体淋巴结转移能够被高度准确地检测出来。尽管诊断成像技术有所进步,但双足淋巴管造影术在泌尿生殖系统肿瘤分期中仍占有一席之地。
