Utility of < sup > 99m < /sup > Tc-Sulfur Colloid Lymphoscintigraphy and SPECT/CT in Chylothorax and Chylous Ascites
CONCLUSION: 99mTc-sulfur colloid lymphoscintigraphy is a highly efficacious noninvasive modality to diagnose chylothorax or chylous ascites with a high positive predictive value. SPECT/CT could localize the sites of leaks more frequently in patients with surgical causes.PMID:37982099 | PMC:PMC10654269 | DOI:10.1007/s13139-023-00813-6 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Vapocoolant Analgesia for Breast Lymphoscintigraphy: A Prospective Clinical Trial
Conclusion: Vapocoolant analgesia in the setting of breast lymphoscintigraphy is feasible, does not appear to compromise lymphoscintigraphy, and appears to be associated with generally low self-reported pain scores.PMID:37963780 | DOI:10.2967/jnmt.123.266143 (Source: Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology)
