title: [Current methods for investigation of the lymphatic system (author's transl)].
abstract: Investigation of the lymphatic system attracts an ever increasing interest not only of scientists working in the theoretical field but also of clinicians. Therefore it is no wonder that numerous methods for the study of the lymphatic system have been proposed. The present article surveys a great number of these methods, and particular emphasis is given to the work that has been and is being carried out in the Soviet Union. It is shown that a detailed knowledge of the lymphatic system is essential if a holistic view of the structure and function of a particular organ is to be obtained.
