title: MR lymphography of abdominal and retroperitoneal lymphatic vessels.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The abdominal and retroperitoneal lymphatic system is characterized by numerous anatomic variations. Our objective is to review MR lymphographic features of normal anatomy and abnormal conditions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MR lymphography is a noninvasive technique that is well suited for the examination of abdominal and retroperitoneal lymphatic vessels.
