Lymphoscintigraphy

Glossary definition--

lymphoscintigraphy: An imaging technique used to diagnose lymphedema and lipedema. It is also used in identifying a sentinel node for biopsy. The water-based contrast medium, which does not damage lymphatic tissues, makes it possible for a gamma camera to trace the flow of lymph. A computer generates images based on the data gathered by the gamma camera.
