| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The optimal CT protocol for intranodal dynamic contrast-enhanced CT lymphangiography was developed using microminipigs. The image quality was compared with the intranodal dynamic contrast-enhanced MR lymphangiography whose efficacy for lymphatic disease is reported. Our result showed that the optimal CT protocol for intranodal dynamic contrast-enhanced CT lymphangiography was dynamic imaging at 5 and 10 minutes after the initiation of contrast media injection. The image quality and visualization of lymphatics were comparable between CT lymphangiography and MR lymphangiography. Our result indicated that intranodal dynamic contrast-enhanced CT lymphangiography may be a good lymphatic imaging and further research will be required.
