简要总结
The number of tattooed people is increasing and some complications secondary to tattoos suggest that the lymphatic vascular system might be implicated in their pathogenesis. Abnormalities have been described at the level of the lymph nodes draining the tattooed areas but nothing was reported about the lymphatic vessels under tattoos. This is the aim of the present work.
详细描述
19 subjects with 20 tattooed skin surfaces were enrolled after written informed consent and the lymphvascular drainage under the tattooed surface was studied using one near infrared camera device after one intradermal injection of Indocyanine Green.

结局指标
主要结局
normal or abnormal lympho-vascular drainage
时间窗: imagings were performed after a period of normal activities (duration 30 minutes)
The following pictures were considered as normal - lymphatic vessels are well seen after 30 minutes of normal activities and direct between the injected site and-towards the first lymph node at the root of the limb
