MR lymphangiography (MRL) is an advance imaging technique using 3D volumetric contrast-enhanced MR angiography with high temporal and spatial resolution, which can evaluate both anatomy and function of the lymphatic system. It is a quick less invasive imaging technique, which aids in diagnosis, preoperative evaluation and follow up. For the experience and technical detail of MRL in PSU will be described in this article.
