Interstitial MR Lymphography with Gadoterate Meglumine: Initial Experience in Humans¹

¹ From the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, University Hospital Essen, Hufelandstrasse 55, D-45122 Essen, Germany. Received December 6, 2000; revision requested January 17, 2001; revision received March 13; accepted March 22. Address correspondence to S.G.R. (e-mail: stefan.ruehm@uni-essen.de).

Magnetic resonance (MR) lymphography was performed in five healthy volunteers and three patients (two adults and one infant). Subcutaneous administration of gadoterate meglumine in the foot allowed visualization of draining lymph vessels and nodes. In one patient, an inguinal fluid collection could be characterized as a lymphocele. In the infant, a chylothorax was diagnosed. The authors conclude that interstitial MR lymphography with commercially available compounds is feasible.
