Lymphography Radioisotope Direct

The lymphatic system is one of the constituent parts of the cardiovascular system, which is responsible for removing waste and fluid from the body. Radioisotope lymphography is a diagnostic method that uses radioactive substances to visualize lymphatic vessels and nodes.

Lymphography is performed as follows:

1. The patient lies down on the table, and the doctor surgically exposes the area of ​​the lymphatic vessel.
2. A radioactive drug is injected into the area of ​​the lymph node.
3. The doctor takes pictures of this area using special equipment.
4. The resulting images are processed to provide a clearer picture of the lymphatic system.

As a result of lymphography with radioisotopes, various diseases of the lymphatic system, such as lymphadenopathy, lymphomas and other diseases, can be diagnosed.

The advantages of radioisotope lymphography are:

– High diagnostic accuracy;
– Possibility of visualizing the lymph node, even if it is hidden under the skin;
– Speed ​​of the procedure;
– Safety for the patient.

Thus, radioisotope lymphography is an important method for diagnosing diseases of the lymphatic system and can be used to identify tumors and other pathologies.

Lymphatic fluid or lymphocytes circulate throughout the body all the time. But sometimes the functions of this fluid are disrupted. With pathology, in addition to the clinical picture, a disease develops. As a rule, a person treats his pathology with antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. In this case, it is very important to identify the exact cause before starting treatment. For this it is necessary to use Direct Radioisotope Lymphography. LMFography is one of the ultrasound examination methods that are performed to detect signs of benign and malignant tumors in organs such as the liver, lung, gallbladder, pancreas, to identify cysts, developmental abnormalities, and also to search for metastases. There is also a variation of this diagnostic method - lymph node dissection. Since lymph nodes are traps for a number of oncological diseases of internal organs, LMF diagnosis involves examination of the abdominal cavity using ultrasound. The main objective of the procedure is to find the lesion, assess the size of the pathological focus and exclude the presence of malignant neoplasms in it.

However, as with any
