[Roentgenoradionuclide study of the lymphatic system of the liver (development of the method and criteria for the evaluation of extravascular plasma flow)].
An attempt was made to develop an instrumental method for the evaluation of the extravascular plasma flow (lymph flow) of the liver. Ultrasonography of the liver does not give an opportunity to differentiate between different states including those accompanied by the excess lymph discharge into the liver. The results of intraparenchymal lymphography of the liver were analysed in patients with and without biliary and portal hypertension. The authors have singled out 11 criteria that make it possible to judge an elevated production of the lymph in the liver. This procedure possesses some instability of results due to the equipment, the doctor's experience and the number of attempts. A method of " radioangiolymphography " of the liver based on the administration of diffusing and nondiffusing radionuclides in the afferent vessels of the liver was worked out. Variation in the parameters of the radionuclide circulation seems to reflect significantly extrahepatic circulation in the liver and holds great promise for the use in hepatology.
