Fig. 1C Four cases of lymphedema: two primary and two secondary.
43-year-old woman with history of cervical cancer and secondary lymphedema
related to pelvic and inguinal lymph node extirpation. Frontal 3D spoiled
gradient-echo high-resolution MR lymphangiography image of left lower leg,
obtained 35 minutes after gadodiamide injection, reveals delayed lymphatic
flow with reticular pattern of dilated lymphatic vessels indicating
neovascularization related to obstruction. Furthermore, dermal backflow
(arrowhead) is detected. Note concomitantly enhanced vein
(arrow), which shows lower signal intensity.
