Lymphoscintigraphy

Doctors in Boston Children's Hospital's Lymphedema Program work together to understand the causes of lymphatic problems and to identify ways to improve the diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema and other lymphatic disorders. In the Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, we have adapted our equipment and procedures to minimize the discomfort of lymphoscintigraphy, to deliver the lowest possible radiation dose, and to obtain the best images possible.
