Xeroradiography of the lymphatics.
Lymphograms of 40 patients were made on xeroradiographic plates and conventional X-ray films. Both imaging procedures are compared in regard to their spatial and contrast resolution. Although xeroradiography offers little advantage in retroperitoneal lymphography, it essentially improves imaging of brachial lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.
