Linfogammagrafía en el diagnóstico diferencial del edema. Rendimiento diagnóstico de diferentes patrones gammagráficos

The lymphoscintigraphy had high diagnostic yield, allowing early treatment of lymphœdema. The dermal backflow and asymmetry in inguinal/axillary nodes had the greatest diagnostic accuracy. Evaluation of intermediate lymph nodes and visualization of collateral pathways contributed little to improving the diagnosis.
