CT lymphangiography of the thoracic duct in mice: direct mesenteric versus popliteal lymph node puncture
Mesenteric lymph node injection improved the efficacy of TD CT lymphangiography in mice. Mesenteric injection provided significantly better TD visualization than popliteal injection. Enhanced TD visualization in mice advances preclinical research on lymphatic diseases.
