Materials and Methods: 20 consecutive patients with various pathologies of the peripheral lymphatic system, such as uni- or bilateral lymphedema, lymphoceles and lymph-vessel-transplants were examined with a fat-saturated T1w-3D-GRE-(FLASH)-sequence (TR3.76ms/TE1.45ms/FA30°/voxel-size 0.83mm3) after intracutaneous injection of Gd-DTPA on a 3.0T-scanner (Magnetom VERIO). Four levels were examined: lower leg, knee, upper leg and…
