The abdominal and retroperitoneal lymphatic system is characterized by numerous anatomic variations. Our objective is to review MR lymphographic features of normal anatomy and abnormal conditions. ONLUSION. MR lymphography is a noninvasive technique that is well suited for the examination of abdominal and retroperitoneal lymphatic vessels. he lymphatic system that collects T the lymph from various organs is a closed network of vessels that begins with lymphatic capillaries in soft tissues, extends to larger vessels that pass through lymph nodes, and again collects in another network of vessels. ommunication with the cardiovascular system is through the thoracic duct [1]. The lymphatic system is anatomically complex and difficult to image. For a long time, lymphatic imaging was limited to the use of conventional lymphography, which involved invasive procedures and patient discomfort [2]. MR lymphography based on heavily T2- weighted fast spin-echo sequences and maximum-intensity-projection reconstruction appears to be a useful noninvasive technique to evaluate the lymphatic system [3, 4]. In this article, we review MR lymphographic features of normal anatomy and of various abnormal conditions in the abdomen. MR Lymphography Protocol MR lymphography was performed on a 1.5-T unit (Magnetom Symphony, Siemens Medical Solutions) with a six-channel phased-array body coil. Our protocol includes an axial free-breathing HSTE sequence without fat suppression (TR/TE, 1,200/114; matrix, ; flip angle, 180 ; section thickness, 6 mm; acquisition time, 80 seconds) and a free-breathing 3D high-spatialresolution fast spin-echo sequence with an extremely long TE (1,400/800; flip angle, 180 ). 90 radiofrequency pulse (the socalled restore pulse) is applied at the end of the echo train to flip the transverse magnetization to the longitudinal direction, shorten the spin relaxation time, and accelerate the relaxation of the longitudinal magnetization while maintaining the same contrast resolution and reducing the acquisition time. The matrix is symmetric ( ), the section thickness is 1 mm, and the voxel size is mm. stack of sections is acquired for diagnostic purposes. Postprocessing of the image data is performed to obtain maximumintensity-projection (MIP) images and multiplanar reformatted images. The typical acquisition time is 3 6 minutes for respiratory-triggered navigator-gated acquisitions with the prospective acquisition correction (PE) technique. The 3D imaging technique has potential advantages over 2D imaging, including the capacity to obtain thinner sections with no gap and a higher signal-to-noise ratio. ecause partial volume averaging effects may obscure small structures, thin-section source images must always be reviewed. oth sequences are based on heavily T2-weighted sequences that emphasize static fluid signal in the fluid-containing structures such as lymphatic vessels, whereas solid tissues and flowing blood have no signal. However, these sequences should be performed before the IV injection of gadolinium because gadolinium that is secreted in lymphatic vessels may result in contrast alteration. natomy of the Lymphatic System The abdominal and retroperitoneal lymphatic system is characterized by numerous anatomic variations [1]. The appearance of retroperitoneal lymph trunks markedly varies from thin or prominent thick channels, paral- JR:189, November

The lymph trunks receive the lymph from the lower limbs, from the walls and viscera of the pelvis, from the kidneys and adrenal glands, and from the deep lymphatics of the abdominal wall. lternating bands of constriction and dilatation are characteristic of the appearance of lymphatic vessels. reas of constriction correspond to lymphatic valves [5]. Most of the efferent paraaortic vessels converge to form the right and left lumbar trunks, which join the cisterna chyli (Fig. 2). Either a single or two mesenteric lymphatic trunks may be observed. The mesenteric lymphatic vessels, which are very small, unite to form the intestinal trunk, which enters the cisterna chyli (Fig. 3). The intestinal trunk receives the lymph from the stomach and intestine and from the pancreas, spleen, and liver. The size of the intestinal lymphatic vessels varies markedly depending on whether the patient is fasting [1] (Fig. 4). The cisterna chyli receives the two lumbar lymphatic trunks, right and left, and the intestinal lymphatic trunk. The cisterna chyli is described in anatomic studies as a saccular area of dilatation of the lymphatic channels that originates at the L1 L2 level of the vertebral body and extends 5 7 cm in the caudocephalad direction. It is located in the retrocrural space, usually to the immediate right of the abdominal aorta [5]. Despite this classic description, the cisterna chyli has a highly variable appearance. omplex anastomoses of lumbar lymphatics may result in a plexus rather than a single duct (Fig. 1). Several sacculations of the convergent lymphatic channels may be present (Fig. 5). This wide variation of the cisterna chyli has led some authors to prefer the descriptive term abdominal confluence of the lymphatic trunks [6]. The term cisterna chyli is used when a distinctly fusiform or saccular dilatation is present. In addition, the size of the cisterna chyli is markedly variable, with cases of very large cisterna chyli (socalled giant cisterna chyli) reported [7] (Fig. 2). fter gadolinium injection, contrast enhancement of the cisterna chyli may be observed on delayed phase imaging [8] (Fig. 6). The cisterna chyli continues in the cephalic direction as a thoracic duct that enters the thorax through the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm and terminates at the junction of the left subclavian and internal jugular veins, draining lymph into the venous circulation [9] (Figs. 7 and 8). bnormal onditions Dilatation of the lymphatic vessels and of the cisterna chyli may be observed after surgical ligation of the thoracic duct during gastric or esophageal surgery (Fig. 9). MR lymphography easily allows the differentiation between dilated cisterna chyli and retrocrural lymph nodes. Lymphatic dilatation progressively resolves after the formation of multiple collateral lymphatic pathways in the vicinity of the obstruction [10]. Intestinal lymphangiectasis is characterized by tortuosity and marked dilatation of the mesenteric lymphatics (Fig. 10). linically, an extreme loss of protein in the gastrointestinal tract results in hypoalbuminemia, edema, and pleural effusion. MR lymphography directly shows the dilatation of mesenteric lymphatic vessels and associated lymphatic vessel abnormalities. In lymphangioleiomyomatosis, proliferation of smooth-muscle cells in the lymph vessels may produce cystic masses consistent with dilatation of the abdominal lymph vessels due to lymphatic obstruction; these are the so-called lymphangioleiomyomas (Fig. 11). These lymphangioleiomyomas are easily shown on MR lymphography [11]. fter surgery involving the retroperitoneal area, such as esophageal, gastric, or pancreatic surgery, injuries to the lymphatic vessels may be observed [12]. These injuries can result in small lymphoceles. In other cases, important lymphatic leaks may result in chylous ascites (Fig. 12). The leak may sometimes be directly shown on MR cholangiography (Figs D). In summary, MR lymphography based on heavily T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequences and MIP reconstruction appears to be a useful noninvasive technique to evaluate the lymphatic system. It allows adequate evaluation of the abdominal and retroperitoneal lymphatic system, which is characterized by numerous anatomic variations. On T images, anatomic variations such as giant cisterna chyli or abnormal lymphatic dilatation may be mistaken for lymph nodes or fluid collections, whereas MR lymphography easily shows the lymphatic nature of the abnormalities. Finally, MR lymphography is useful for evaluating patients with uncommon diseases of the lymphatic system such as lymphedema, lymphangiectasis, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis, or after injury of the lymphatic vessels during surgery.
