High-Resolution MR Lymphangiography in Patients with Primary and Secondary Lymphedema

¹ Department of Radiology, Division of Diagnostic Radiology, University Hospital of Freiburg, Hugstetter Strasse 55, D-79106, Freiburg, Germany.
² Foeldi Clinic for Lymphology, Hinterzarten, Germany.

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of high-resolution MR lymphangiography with intracutaneous injection of gadodiamide, a commercially available, nonionic, extracellular paramagnetic contrast agent, for the visualization of lymphatic vessels in patients with primary and secondary lymphedema.

CONCLUSION. High-resolution MR lymphangiography is safe, is technically feasible, and has the potential to become a diagnostic imaging tool for patients with lymphedema.

Keywords: high-resolution angiography • leg • lymphangiography • MRI
