Need for chest radiographs during and after lymphography.
Retrospective review of 100 lymphograms showed that routine chest radiography after injection of the lymphographic contrast medium and follow-up films 24-48 hr later yielded no clinically useful information. It was concluded that routine postlymphography chest radiography is not necessary and should be reserved for patients in whom complications are suspected.
