ABSTRACT

Contrast magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL) with the use of gadobenate dimeglumine as the contrast and 3.0 T MR unit is capable of visualizing the precise morphological status of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes in a lymphedematous limb. I also provides the functional status of lymph flow transportation in the lymphatic system and the nodes. This method is minimally invasive, easy, and safe and combines morphological and functional examination in a single acquisition. MRL has been proven to be useful in the diagnosis of peripheral lymphatic system disorders.
