[Use of Tc-99m sulfur microcolloid for lymphoscintigraphy of neoplasms of the lymphatic system].

The usefulness of examination of lymphatic nodes with Technetium labelled microcolloid for assessment of lymphatic nodes in patients with non Hodgkin's lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease is discussed. Examination has been applied in 60 cases. The criteria of performance of the examinations in physiologic and pathologic conditions are described, together with comparison with other methods of examination. In the own material significant concordance of lymphoscintigraphic examinations with lymphography and CT has been found, whereas fairly big discrepancies resulted when lymphoscintigraphic and USG examination have been compared.
