    Image quality was rated good in 52% of limbs, fair in 38%, and poor in 10%, with high interreader agreement on image quality.

  • 3

    The mean time to visualize superficial inguinal lymph nodes was approximately 75 seconds, with no major complications reported.

  • 4

    Minor injection site edema occurred in 27% of limbs but resolved spontaneously within 24 hours after the procedure.

    The study's findings may not directly translate to humans due to anatomical differences, and further research is needed in disease states.
