Lymphophlebography

Lymphophlebography is a method of x-ray examination of the lymphatic system. It allows you to assess the condition of the lymph nodes and blood vessels, identify the presence of tumors and other pathological changes.

The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and lymph nodes that collect fluid from tissues and organs and return it to the blood. Lymph nodes play an important role in the body's immune system as they filter and destroy bacteria and viruses.

In lymphophlebography, a contrast agent is injected into a vein in the arm or leg, which then passes through the lymphatic vessels. This provides a clear image of the lymphatic system, including lymph nodes and vessels.

The lymphophlebography method is widely used in medicine to diagnose various diseases, such as lymphogranulomatosis, lymphoma, cancer metastases in the lymph nodes and others. It can also be useful in planning operations on lymphatic vessels and nodes.

In general, lymphophlebography is an important method for studying the lymphatic system and allows you to more accurately assess its condition and identify possible diseases.

Lymphophlebography: Study of the lymphatic and venous system

Lymphophlebography is a medical procedure that is used to visualize and evaluate the condition of the body's lymphatic and venous systems. This diagnostic method combines two techniques – lymphography and venography, allowing doctors to obtain detailed information about the circulation of lymph and blood in the patient’s body.

The word "lymphophlebography" comes from the Greek roots: "limfo-", meaning lymph, and "phleps, phlebos", meaning vein, as well as "grapho", which translates as "write" or "image"
