PASSAGE THROUGH THE LYMPH NODE. STUDIES WITH WATERED AND OILED CONTRAST MEDIUM GIVEN INTO AN AFFERENT LYMPHATIC

Abstract

The authors investigated the passage of watered and

oiled contrast media through the lymph node. Patent

Blue dye diluted in saline has delineated as a rule

only a circumscript area of the lymph node according

to the supplying area of the afferent cannulated.

Lipiodol Ultrafluid has been found suitable for

filling up the whole node: at first only a small part

of the node became filled primarily from the

afferent, while other parts were filled secondarily

from the hilus. The compartmentalisation of the

lymph node has been proved by autoradiography

(³H-thymidine), too.
