Lymphography (lateral position) Case3:A 42-year-old cervical cancer patient received a slow injection of 20 ml Gadodiamide and 6 ml 2% lidocaine over three minutes. The injection was followed by a 20-minute massage within the MRI system. MR lymphography displays the lymph nodes (L.N.) and lymphatic vessels (L.T.) at various time points. After 12 minutes, the contrast agents appeared mainly in the bladder. There are unmarked elliptically shaped lymph nodes of the iliac blood vessel. The lymphography lateral map was clear. There are numerous unmarked areas with similar shapes to the linear lymph vessels.The lymphatic shape was continuous.
