LYMPHOSCINTOGRAM

This is a very painful test because Tc-colloid is injected in between the foot webspace and one then watches to see how far up the leg it gets.

If it doesn't get to the groin nodes by 2 hours then this is lymphostasis= Milroy's Disease.

It is used to diagnose the cause of non-pitting oedema.
