Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a standardized diagnostic protocol for lymphoscintigraphy in newborns.
  • To enhance the diagnostic accuracy and management of congenital lymphatic abnormalities.
  • To guide pediatricians and nuclear medicine physicians in neonatal imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed presentation of indications for neonatal lymphoscintigraphy.
  • Discussion on radiotracer selection, optimal dosage, and administration routes.
