Lymphoscintigraphy Scan

2 weeks after my ICG Scan in Oxford, I have had a Lymphoscintigraphy Scan in London. Here, my deeper lymphatic channels were injected with infra-red dye between my big and first toe on both feet. An initial scan, lasting about 15 minutes, was taken straight after injections. I was place securely in a bed and moved throughout an MRI like machine. The first scan consisted of 2 separate scans, one on just my feet lasting 5 minutes and one all the way up my leg lasting 10 minutes. Differing to my ICG scan, I then had to wait 2 hours for the dye to travel up my lymphatics before having a second set of scans. The second round of scans included a 5 minute scan on my feet, a 15 minute scan up my leg and a 5 minute scan on my pelvic region. These results are received within a few weeks time which will then determine which surgery will be appropriate for my specific lymphatic system.
