Lymphangiography in Children.

Lymphangiography was first introduced by Kinmonth in 1951. Although some years previously lymphatic vessels had been demonstrated it was not until this time that the technique was developed for use in clinical medicine. Lymphatic vessels may be demonstrated visuallyvisual lymphangiography-or by radiographs following the use of a contrast medium. It is necessary to introduce such a medium into the lymphatic vessels and therefore visual lymphangiography is a necessary preliminary to x-ray lymphangiography.
