Lymphoscintigraphy as Part of Nuclear Medicine of the Third Millennium

The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of many human pathologies have been substantially modified by the advent of extraordinary progress in the field of molecular and cellular biology. The future of Nuclear Medicine is therefore an effective use of radioactivity, which allows us to get more and more into the mechanisms that generate and maintain the disease and eliminate them or, if possible, to correct them. We can therefore affirm that lymphoscintigraphy still maintains its solid place in the diagnosis of lymphatic flow disorders in this millennium. A position that, even compared to other methods, allows it to be used in diagnosis, prevention, and the monitoring of therapies, be they surgical, pharmacological, or physical.
