Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is lymphangiogram?
A lymphangiogram is a special x-ray of the lymph nodes and lymph vessels. Lymph nodes produce white blood cells (lymphocytes) that help fight infections. The lymph nodes also filter and trap cancer cells.
The lymph nodes and vessels are not usually seen on a normal x-ray, so a dye or radioisotope (radioactive compound) is injected into the body to highlight the area being studied.
Alternative Names:
Lymphography; Lymphangiography
