: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported.We have included patients that were published in other technique papers or non-imaging based papers. These were our original small case series/technique papers describing intrahepatic MRL and intramesenteric MRL, and a small case series from our original description of PLE (reference [CitationRef removed], 20, and European Radiology 2020 Oct;30(10):5777–5784). Together these papers had 29 patients, which is a much smaller number of patients than this study that includes 105 patients. In addition, this study is a more comprehensive description of liver lymphangiography by expanding on these techniques to describe this larger and broader patient population and correlates both pathologic patterns with disease presentation as well as disease outcome after intervention that has not been previously described.Table removed
