Lymphoedema is a debilitating disease that results in chronic swelling of a body region due to a dysfunctional lymphatic system. Since a cure is yet to be identified for this disease, management is currently the best option for preventing disease progression and improving patient outcomes. Fluorescence lymphography is a popular approach for mapping the lymphatic vessels to provide information about the underlying lymphatic dysfunction. However, current clinical fluorescence lymphography tools do not enable the creation of comprehensive 3D maps of lymphatics throughout affected limbs...

Postpartum chylothorax is an infrequent complication of delivery that is sometimes overlooked. We presented 2 cases of chylothorax in primiparous women who developed chest tightness and breath shortness after vaginal birth, probably due to increased pressure in the thoracic ducts during labor. Lymphography with iodine oil revealed leakage at the T4 level of the thoracic duct in 1 patient but not in the other. Only trace amounts of iodized oil were deposited in the thoracic cavity. There was a significant decrease in postoperative drainage...

Liposuction for treatment of lymphedema is an effective and time-tested treatment. However, as there is a fear regarding further lymphatic damage caused by liposuction, we objectively compared lymphatic function pre- and post-liposuction. All patients with solid-predominant lymphedema who were treated during the study period of June 2014 and November 2018 were included. Patients were assessed using patient-reported baselines/outcomes, lymphedema- specific quality of life scale (LYMQOL), limb circumference/volume measurements, and indocyanine green lymphography (ICGL) preoperatively and at predefined postoperative time intervals...

Lymphedema is a progressive condition. Its therapy aims to reduce edema, prevent its progression, and provide psychosocial aid. Nonsurgical treatment in advanced stages is mostly insufficient. Therefore-in many cases-surgical procedures, such as to restore lymph flow or excise lymphedema tissues, are the only ways to improve patients' quality of life. Imaging modalities: Lymphoscintigraphy (LS), near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) imaging-also termed indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography (ICG-L)-ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL), computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are standardized techniques, which can be utilized in lymphedema diagnosis, staging, treatment, and follow-up...

Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery is an effective surgery for the treatment of lymphedema in the extremities. Indocyanine green lymphography is the reference standard for visualizing lymphatics for LVA surgery, but it has several limitations; most notably, superficial dermal congestion can mask deeper lymphatic vessels. To overcome the limitations, we add contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) lymphography. We have previously reported that CEUS lymphography can identify lymphatic vessels for LVA surgery that indocyanine green lymphography does not...

BACKGROUND: The use of dyes like Indocyanine green (ICG) and Patent blue facilitates the identification of lymphatic vessels during lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery. However, some patients experience "staining failure". In these cases, no stained lymphatic vessels can be detected, making supermicrosurgical LVA even more complex. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate patient-related factors that may interfere with lymphatic vessel staining during LVA...

To achieve accurate selection and synchronous imaging of blood vessels and lymph, a speckle spectrum contrast method (SSC) based on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is proposed in this Letter. In this method, the time-lapse optical coherence tomography (OCT) intensity signal is transformed to the Fourier frequency domain. By analyzing the frequency spectrum of the time-lapse OCT intensity signal, a parameter called SSC signal, which represents the ratio of different intervals of the high frequency to the low frequency, is utilized to extract and contrast different types of the vessels in the biological tissues...

PURPOSE: Open imaging fluorescence devices have been utilized in surgical oncology, vascular and plastic surgery; however, the role of indocyanine green (ICG) in periorbital surgery and lymphatics has not been explored. METHODS: A prospective, single-center diagnostic study was conducted from 2021 to 2022 utilizing ICG to assess both the periorbital vasculature and lymphatics. Fluorescence was captured with open-imaging fluorescent devices. For ICG angiography, a total of 5-10 mg of ICG was given intravenously at various time points to visualize intraoperative blood flow to eyelid flaps, vascular tumors, or extraocular muscles...

Considerable efforts have been made to develop nanoparticle-based magnetic resonance contrast agents (CAs) with high relaxivity. The prolonged rotational correlation time (τR ) induced relaxivity enhancement is commonly recognized, while the effect of the water coordination numbers ( q ) on the relaxivity of nanoparticle-based CAs gets less attention. Herein, we first investigated the relationship between T 1 relaxivity ( r 1 ) and q in manganese-based hybrid micellar CAs and proposed a strategy to enhance the relaxivity by increasing q ...
