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. Yet another embodiment uses labeled antibodies against organ antigens for scintigraphic and magnetic resonance organ imaging.
Reagents and kits for use in the foregoing method are also provided.
