title: Accuracy of bipedal lymphography in Hodgkin's disease.
abstract: Bipedal lymphography was used as part of the initial staging evaluation of 145 patients with Hodgkin's disease. Histologic correlation was available in 131 patients. The accuracy of interpretation was 95%. A review of other large series confirms that at least 85%-90% accuracy can be expected. Reasons for false positive and false negative interpretations are discussed.
