Comparison of 99Tcm lymphoscintigraphy and lymphangiography in patients with malignant lymphomas.
Comparison of abdominal lymphoscintigraphy with 99Tcm microcolloid and conventional lymphangiography in 38 patients with malignant lymphomas showed 62 per cent agreement when the results were classified as normal, doubtful and abnormal. The present scintigraphic method seems to be sufficiently safe and accurate as a screening test, without significant side effects and associated with little patient discomfort.
