[Pharmacolymphography]

Area of Science:

• Medical Imaging
• Pharmacology
• Oncology

Background:

• Lymphography is crucial for staging and treatment planning in malignant neoplasms.
• Improving contrast medium injection and lymphatic system visualization is essential for diagnostic accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of pharmacological preparations in accelerating contrast medium injection during lymphography.
• To enhance the visualization of vessels and the node conduction system in patients with malignant neoplasms.

Main Methods:

• Administration of vasodilative pharmacological preparations including Ridol, Nospanum, Arfonadum, and Xavinum in 110 cancer patients.
• Assessment of contrast medium injection speed and quality of lymphatic system imaging.

Main Results:

• Ridol, in combination with Novocaine and Nospanum, demonstrated a pronounced lymphotropic effect.
• The use of these preparations shortened injection time and improved imaging of intermediate node sinuses and the thoracic duct.

Conclusions:

• Pharmacological enhancement of lymphography accelerates contrast medium delivery.
• The studied preparations, particularly Ridol with Novocaine and Nospanum, significantly improve lymphatic system visualization in oncology patients.
