Lymphoscintigraphy Using Tc-99m Sulfur Colloid

Course overview

This tutorial is related to Lymphoscintigraphy Using Ultrafiltered Tc-SC and gives an overview of the role of Lymphoscintigraphy in Nuclear Medicine. At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees should be able to explain the rationale for using this technique to identify the ideal particle size for colloid particles to insure rapid migration in the lymphatics to describe in detail the optimal preparation procedure and to compare methods of preparation to describe the optimal injection technique for injecting different categories of patients to describe the typical colloid distribution patterns.
