Medication

ethiodized oil

2-4 mL for unilateral lymphography on the upper extremities
6-8 mL for bilateral lymphography on the lower extremities
2-3 mL for penile lymphography
1-2 mL for cervical lymphography
Administration of the upper and lower extremities
Initiate the injection through the lymphatic channel with a rate of not more than 0.2 mL/min.
Inject the total dosage of not less than 1.25 hours.
Reimage after 24 or 48 hours to assess nodal architecture.

isosulfan blue

0.5 mL (5 mg) into the three interdigital spaces on each extremity per study (maximum 3 mL per study)
