    Thinning Ethiodol with ether in lymphangiography significantly reduces injection time. This method maintains image quality without causing complications, improving the diagnostic procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Lymphangiography is a key diagnostic imaging technique.
    • Ethiodol is a commonly used contrast agent in lymphangiography.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effect of thinning Ethiodol with ether on injection duration in lymphangiography.
    • To assess the safety and image quality of this modified technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective comparative study involving 20 patients.
    • Comparison of standard Ethiodol injection versus Ethiodol thinned with ether.

    Main Results:

    • Significant reduction in injection duration when using Ethiodol thinned with ether.
    • No observed complications associated with the thinned contrast agent.
