Intranodal lymphangiography provides an alternative means of accessing the lymphatic system. This technique is dependent on the use of ultrasound- or fluoroscopy-guided puncture of lymph nodes with a 26-gauge needle or similar-sized angiocatheter [53; 55].

Compared to other types of lymphatic imaging, ICG lymphangiography is better suited for the purposes of lymphatic surgery. Lymphoscintigraphy involves radiation exposure, provides insufficient resolution, and lacks the capacity to provide real-time information about the lymphatic system[56]. Magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL) depicts the lymphatic system with high resolution and without radiation exposure, but cannot be performed intraoperatively nor provide real-time information. However, it is worth noting that MRL images both superficial and deep lymphatic channels, and thus can provide additional information beyond ICG lymphangiography [57,58]. This has led some investigators to utilize both ICG lymphangiography and MRL for planning lymphatic surgery[59].
