Lyphoscintigrafi

Lyphoscintigraphy is a nuclear medicine imaging technique used to visualize and assess the function of the lymphatic system. It is particularly useful in diagnosing and managing conditions that affect the lymphatic vessels, such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), lymphangitis, and certain types of cancer. The procedure involves the injection of a radioactive tracer, typically technetium-99m, into the lymphatic system. The tracer is then distributed throughout the lymphatic vessels, and a gamma camera is used to capture images of the tracer's movement. These images help healthcare professionals evaluate the structure and function of the lymphatic system, identify blockages or abnormalities, and plan appropriate treatment strategies. Lyphoscintigraphy is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and management of lymphatic disorders, providing valuable information that can guide clinical decisions and improve patient outcomes.
