[Indirect radionuclide lymphography using In-113m in patients with uterine cancer].

Indirect lower lymphography with 113m In-coind was performed in 112 patients with uterine cancer. Its diagnostic informative value, as was shown by the results of morphological verification, was 73 +/- 1.2%. In the interpretation of the scintigraphic image of the lymph nodes a small number of false negative results (8.6%) was noted. Comparison of the results of direct radiopaque lymphography with those of a morphological study of the lymph nodes in 42 patients brought about coincidence in 75% of the observed cases. Identical results of radionuclide lymphography and chromolymphography were observed in 92.1% of the cases. The analysis has shown that scintigraphy of the lymph nodes with 113m In-coind and radiopaque lymphography are almost identical by their informative value.
