68Ga-NOTA-Evans Blue TOF PET/MR Lymphoscintigraphy Evaluation of the Severity of Lower Limb Lymphedema.
This study was designed to investigate the role of Ga-NOTA-Evans Blue (NEB) time-of-flight (TOF) PET/MR in evaluating lower limb lymphedema by visual analysis and novel parameters. ⋯ Ga-NEB TOF PET/MR lymphoscintigraphy can provide anatomical and functional information of lymphatic vessels to guide surgery plans. SUVslv/dlv was well correlated with clinical lymphedema severity and might be potential in evaluating bilateral lower limb lymphedema.
