The skin over your groin will be numbed and then a thin needle is inserted under ultrasound guidance into a lymph node in your groin. Contrast will be injected through the needle and into the lymph node. A type of x-ray machine, called a fluoroscope, projects the images on a TV monitor. The provider uses the images to follow the dye as it spreads through the lymphatic system up your legs, groin, and along the back of the abdominal cavity to identify the site of lymphatic leak. Then, embolizing agent (blocking agent) is used to block the site of leak. Why (Indications)? Provides structural and functionalinformation regarding the lymphatic system.
