Abstract：
Lymphoscintigraphy is a nuclear medicine procedure that uses a small quantity of radioactive particles for visualizing the lymphatic system. Traditionally, the radiotracer was injected subcutaneously, but the quality of lymphatic path imaging was scarce due to high background. Intradermal radiotracer injection is considered the modern-day intralymphatic injection. We propose rest/stress intradermal lymphoscintigraphy for the diagnosis, staging and surgical planning of lymphedema. Major and minor findings were described in primary and secondary lymphedema. Based on the in-depth information of the lymphatic pathways, physiotherapists and microsurgeons can obtain important functional information in patients\' selection to treat with physical treatments and/or undergo microsurgery.
摘要：
淋巴闪烁显像是一种核医学程序，它使用少量的放射性粒子来可视化淋巴系统。传统上,放射性示踪剂是皮下注射的,但是由于高背景，淋巴路径成像的质量很低。皮内放射性示踪剂注射被认为是现代的淋巴内注射。我们建议休息/应激皮内淋巴闪烁显像用于诊断，淋巴水肿的分期和手术计划。在原发性和继发性淋巴水肿中描述了主要和次要发现。根据淋巴通路的深入信息，物理治疗师和显微外科医师可以在患者选择物理治疗和/或接受显微外科手术时获得重要的功能信息。
