[Importance of direct roentgeno-radioisotope lymphography in the diagnosis of lymphogenic metastasis]. / Znachenie priamoi rentgenoradioizotopnoi limfografii v diagnostike limfogennykh metastazov.

Using the results of direct x-ray-radionuclide lymphography in 119 patients with malignant tumors of different sites lymphogenic metastases were diagnosed in 68% of the cases as compared to 52% with the use of radiopaque direct lymphography only and 36.5% of the cases detected on clinical examination. This method made it possible to change in 44 out of 119 patients a stage of the disease to a more advanced one.

Now, medical institutions are busy with the reconstruction of standard radiological compartments with the purpose to adopt and introduce into practice the intracavitary gamma-therapy method performed by means of apparatus AgammaAT-B. The article gives a well-founded technological explanation of the planning decision and allocation of AgammaAT-B together with protective technological equipment for operation with closed radioactive sources in the compartments built by projects that did not foresee a space for this apparatus.
