Acquisition
- Use gammacamera with paralell high resolution collimator for imaging.
- Obtain sequential static views over area of interest following lymphatic channels. Alternatively serial dynamic study for 10 min, 30 sec per frame.
- Delayed images maybe useful when flow is slow.
- Likewise, a whole body acquisition at 12 cm/min is an option and may be repeated for comparison between early and delayed images.
