Abstract
An improved method for lymphoscintigraphy or magnetic resonance lymphography involves subtraction of a negative image produced using a gross imaging agent from a positive image produced with a specific antibody imaging agent. Another embodiment of the invention uses an antibody to lymphatic tissue as an imaging agent for lymphatics. A further embodiment uses a magnetic resonance image enhancing agent for magnetic resonance lymphography. Reagents and kits for use in the foregoing method are also provided.
