Visualization of lymphatic channels and lymph nodes can be achieved through lymphangiography, which involves the injection of a contrast medium into the lymphatic system. This procedure allows for the detailed imaging of lymphatic vessels and nodes using X-ray or other imaging modalities, highlighting any obstructions, abnormalities, or metastatic spread. The contrast medium enhances the visibility of lymphatic structures, helping in the diagnosis and management of various conditions, including lymphatic disorders and cancer staging.
Lymphography is the process of visualizing lymphatic channels and lymph nodes using contrast medium. The record produces is called a lymphogram.
Visualization of lymphatic channels and lymph nodes using a contrast medium is a diagnostic technique that involves the injection of a contrast agent into the lymphatic system. This allows for enhanced imaging of lymphatic structures during imaging studies such as lymphangiography, which can be performed using modalities like X-ray, CT, or MRI. The contrast medium highlights the lymphatic vessels and nodes, making it easier to identify abnormalities, blockages, or malignancies. This technique is valuable in assessing conditions such as lymphatic disorders, cancer staging, and planning surgical interventions.
The medical term you are looking for is lymphangiography. It involves using a contrast medium and radiographic imaging to visualize the lymphatic vessels.
Voiding Cystourethrogram
The liquid containing contrast medium is called contrast agent or contrast dye. It is used in various medical imaging techniques such as CT scans, X-rays, and MRIs to help highlight specific tissues, blood vessels, or organs for better visualization.
barium
yes a KUB does use a contrast medium.Just had it today.When the contrast is passed in yiu body in about 2-3 minutes your full body will becume very hot.This scan is done in intervals and people might get a rash or vomiting n nausea are common symptoms. - Damien^^
A contrast medium is a material used to fill certain organs or blood vessels to improve visualization during radiography procedures. It helps highlight specific structures or areas of interest on the X-ray image.

Yes, barium is a contrast medium and is actually one of the most common of the contrast mediums used in enemas and other x-ray based tests. Iodine is another contrast medium that is quite common.
There are at least a couple of radiographic studies of the kidneys and ureters using a contrast medium. In an intravenous pyelogram, or IVP, contrast medium is injected into a vein prior to imaging. In a VCUG, contrast medium is injected into the bladder to create an image.
