A) An anteroposterior fluoroscopic spot image of the left foot and ankle 24 hours after the injection of Ethiodol contrast medium into the lymphatic vessels over the dorsum of the left foot. Note the dense swelling of the ankle and foot. B) An anteroposterior fluoroscopic spot image of the lower left extremity 24 hours after the injection of Ethiodol contrast
medium into the lymphatic vessels over the dorsum of the left foot. This image displays the dermal and subcutaneous tissue backflow of the Ethiodol contrast medium into lymphatic vessels, which indicates circumvention and impedance to forward flow.
