Isotope Notation

error

"Lymphoscintigraphy is commonly used for confirming the diagnosis of lymphoedema and is a reliable method for functional assessment of the lymphatic system. It affords visualisation of the major lymphatic trunks and lymph nodes as well as evaluation of lymphatic function. ^99mTc-sulfur colloid radiotracer is injected into the interdigital web space of the afflicted limb, either intradermally or subdermally. Using stress tests, it is possible to quantify the rate of tracer disappearance from the injection site and its accumulation within the lymph nodes. Typical abnormalities in lymphoedema include ^10,11:"
