Diagnostic protocol for lymphoscintigraphy in newborns.

Abstract:

:The purpose of this methods paper is to offer pediatricians and nuclear medicine physicians a diagnostic protocol for performing lymphoscintigraphy in newborns that may be useful for enhancing diagnosis and management of newborns with congenital lymphatic abnormalities. Indications for lymphoscintigraphy, choice of tracer, optimal dose, routes of administration, methods of data acquisition, timing, and interpretation of results for newborns are presented and discussed.

    abstract::A very important unanswered problem is the source of the energy required for formation of lymph. The most widely held theory has been that fluid filters from the capillaries, flows through the tissues, and then enters the lymphatic as a result of a continuous positive pressure gradient from the blood capillary to the ...
