Baseline 30, 60 & 120 minute images showing lymphatic pathology in left leg of a 12 year old male (symptomatic & Mf positive).

<p>In the left leg, the lymphatic channel well visualized, and tracer uptake at injection site is low indicating lymphatic flow obstruction in left leg.</p

Normal images: 10, 30, 60, & 120 minute images of lymphoscintigraphy in a 14 yr male (asymptomatic and Mf positive).

<p>In both the limbs, at 10 minutes tracer movement into the lymphatics is seen in both legs and at 30 minutes inguinal nodes are visualized, lymphatic tract not imaged and tracer uptake symmetrical hence lymphatic flow normal in both legs. Note the granular appearance in leg images is typical of background noise where there is no additional tracer image.</p

Baseline 30, 60, & 120 minute images of lymphoscintigraphy in a 8 year old male (asymptomatic and Mf positive).

<p>Images show visualization of popliteal nodes and fewer inguinal nodes on right leg indicating tracer accumulation at popliteal level hence lymphatic flow obstruction.There is also delayed clearance from the injection site on the right foot.</p
