Abstract

Interstitial injection of radiolabeled compounds with sequential scanning imaging has been used since the 1950s to investigate the lymphatic system. This minimally invasive procedure, which simply requires intradermal or subcutaneous injection of a radiocolloid, has largely replaced the more invasive and technically difficult technique of lymphangiography [1].
