Overview

Retrospective study demonstrates varying ilioinguinal nodal uptake across lymphatic dysfunction stages in lower limb lymphoscintigraphy, suggesting quantitative thresholds aid visual diagnosis.

Key Points

Investigate the diagnostic significance and baseline distribution of ilioinguinal nodal uptake percentages in lower limb lymphoscintigraphy.
Retrospectively analyzed lymphoscintigraphy scans from 161 patients.
Calculated lower limb ilioinguinal nodal uptake percentages using baseline injection-site and 120-minute whole-body region-of-interest counts adjusted for count duration and radioactive decay.
Compared nodal uptake percentages between normal and abnormal limbs and across study-specific lymphoscintigraphic classification groups.
Median ilioinguinal nodal uptake was 18.6% (interquartile range: 11–27%) across 127 limbs displaying normal lymphoscintigraphic patterns.
Uptake was elevated in limbs with increased lymphatic flow reserve but decreased significantly with progressive lymphatic dysfunction (P < 0.001), differing across classification groups (P < 0.001).
Visual and semiquantitative assessments of bilateral ilioinguinal lymph node asymmetry demonstrated a moderate positive correlation (Pearson's r = 0.52, P < 0.001).
