Lymphangiography is a medical imaging method that allows you to see the lymphatic system inside your body. The lymphatic system is a network of veins, nodes, and organs that aid in fluid balance, filtration of hazardous chemicals, and immune system support. Lymphangiography is a procedure that includes injecting a contrast dye into lymphatic veins to make them visible on X-ray or other imaging techniques.
This method provides essential diagnostic information on lymphatic structure, flow, and any lymphatic system anomalies. The patient may be required to fast for a period of time prior to the treatment, and they will be questioned about any allergies to drugs or contrast dyes. The medical team will also do any necessary blood tests and assess the patient’s medical history.
A contrast dye is injected into the lymphatic vessels, usually through the skin with a tiny needle. The dye might be injected into a lymph node or the tissue around the area of interest. While X-ray techniques were once used for lymphangiography, more advanced imaging modalities such as CT and MRI have essentially superseded traditional lymphangiography due to their non-invasive nature and increased visualization capabilities.
CT lymphangiography and MR lymphangiography are new techniques that use contrast agents and customized protocols to image the lymphatic system without the need for invasive operations. Lymphangiography is still a useful tool in situations where other imaging methods may not provide enough information or when a comprehensive image of the lymphatic system is required.
The Global Lymphangiography market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Modern Lymphangiography Techniques and Interventions. Intranodal lymphangiography and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR lymphangiography, which were recently created, provide new insight into lymphatic pathology. Thoracic duct embolization has emerged as the therapy of choice for patients with chylous leakage. Interstitial lymphatic embolization broadened the lymphatic embolization techniques.
Liver lymphatic lymphangiography and embolization allow for the treatment of postsurgical liver lymphorrhea and protein-losing enteropathy. The potential for continued growth of lymphatic interventions is immense, and includes liver lymphatic operations as well as advanced thoracic duct interventions such as thoracic duct externalization and stenting. These current and future improvements will pave the way for a plethora of novel therapies and diagnostic options.
