EVALUATION OF LYMPHATIC FLOW

DATE: 10/4/2005

PROCEDURE: After interdigital injection of radionuclide, the following images were acquired dynamically and statically.

VIEW(S): [...]

RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: Tc99m filtered sulfur colloid

DOSE:  [...] mCi

COMPARISON: None

CLINICAL HISTORY: The patient is a [...]-year-old [fe]male referred for evaluation of lymphatic obstruction.

FINDINGS: 

Intense tracer uptake is identified within the injection sites of the bilateral feet.

Normal tracer progression is identified throughout the lower extremities, pelvis, and abdomen.

Mildly increased lymph nodes are identified within the popliteal fossa.

No pattern of flow is identified that would be consistent with significant lymphatic obstruction.

CONCLUSIONS: 

Normal study showing no evidence of lymphatic obstruction.

Thank you for referring this patient to the UCLA Nuclear Medicine Clinic.
