Lymphangioscintigraphy offers a clear view of lymphatic issues in lymphoedema patients. This non-invasive imaging technique is recommended for supplementary diagnosis when clinical examination is insufficient.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Lymphatic System Research
  • Diagnostic Techniques

Background:

  • Lymphoedema diagnosis typically relies on clinical assessment.
  • Supplementary laboratory techniques are sometimes necessary for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a practical lymphangioscintigraphic method for evaluating lymphoedema.
  • To assess the utility of this method in a patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • A lymphangioscintigraphic technique was developed through literature review and practical application.
  • The method was tested and refined in approximately 40-48 patients.

Main Results:

  • The lymphangioscintigraphy method provided excellent visualization of lymphatic pathology and lymph stasis.

  • Abnormal scintigraphic patterns were observed in 25 out of 48 patients.
  • In clinically diagnosed cases (20 patients), 15 showed positive lymphangioscintigraphy results.

    • Conclusions:

    • Lymphangioscintigraphy is a non-invasive diagnostic tool.
    • It is recommended as a first-choice supplementary examination for lymphoedema.
    • The method effectively visualizes lymphatic abnormalities in lymphoedema.
