The accuracy of lymphography was prospectively evaluated in a series of 632 consecutive, unselected patients with Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The cases were newly diagnosed and previously untreated. The following five parameters of lymphographic accuracy were achieved: sensitivity 91%, specificity 91%, overall accuracy 91%, accuracy of positive diagnosis 84%, and accuracy of negative diagnosis 95%. Before this useful imaging modality is prematurely abandoned, comparable studies of the accuracy of ultrasound and computed tomography, perhaps with a less extensive series, should be carried out.
对连续632例未经挑选的霍奇金病和非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者进行了前瞻性淋巴造影准确性评估。这些病例均为新诊断且未经治疗。淋巴造影准确性的以下五个参数结果如下：敏感性91%，特异性91%，总体准确性91%，阳性诊断准确性84%，阴性诊断准确性95%。在过早放弃这种有用的成像方式之前，应进行超声和计算机断层扫描准确性的类似研究，病例系列可能可小一些。
