Magnetic Resonance Lymphangiography for the Study of Lymphatic System in Lymphedema.
BACKGROUND Imaging of the lymphatic system is difficult because of its structural and anatomical characteristics, and the conventional diagnostic method, radionuclide-based imaging, has the disadvantage of poor resolution. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been shown the capability of depicting lymphatic channels in lymphedema recently. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the imaging of...
متن کاملImaging Lymphatic System in Breast Cancer Patients with Magnetic Resonance Lymphangiography
OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of gadolinium (Gd) contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL) in breast cancer patients within a typical clinical setting, and to establish a Gd-MRL protocol and identify potential MRL biomarkers for differentiating metastatic from non-metastatic lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS 32 patients with unilateral breast cancer were enrolled...
متن کاملAdvanced imaging technologies for mapping cadaveric lymphatic anatomy: magnetic resonance and computed tomography lymphangiography.
Lymphatic anatomy has become increasingly clinically important as surgical techniques evolve for investigating and treating cancer metastases. However, due to limited anatomical techniques available, research in this field has been insufficient. The techniques of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) lymphangiography have not been described previously in the imaging of cadaveric ...
متن کاملThe role of magnetic resonance imaging in the prenatal management of a lymphatic malformation.
We report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a case of extensive fetal lymphatic malformation involving the upper left arm and axillo-thoraco-abdominal wall found on routine prenatal ultrasound (US) examination at 22 weeks of gestation. MRI clearly reveals the tumor extent and tissue characteristics, and thick-slab T2-weighted MRI has the capacity to provide more information on th...
متن کاملAberrant Lymphatic Endothelial Progenitors in Lymphatic Malformation Development
Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are vascular anomalies thought to arise from dysregulated lymphangiogenesis. These lesions impose a significant burden of disease on affected individuals. LM pathobiology is poorly understood, hindering the development of effective treatments. In the present studies, immunostaining of LM tissues revealed that endothelial cells lining aberrant lymphatic vessels and ...
