Automated Measurement of Skin Thickness in Computed Tomography Images for Unilateral Lower Extremity Lymphedema.

Lymphat Res Biol

August 2025

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan.

Lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) is a common complication following gynecological cancer treatment, characterized by the accumulation of protein-rich fluid owing to lymphatic system insufficiency. This condition manifests as in skin thickening, soft tissue swelling, and other complications. Therefore, this study proposes an automatic method for measuring skin thickness in lower extremity computed tomography (CT) images and assessing its effectiveness in diagnosing LEL.

Objective/background: Noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) has emerged as an efficient tool for evaluating fluid infiltration in upper extremity lymphedema (UEL). This study aimed to examine the relationship between quality of life (QOL) in UEL and regional fluid infiltration on NMRI.

Methods: A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted involving 65 patients with secondary UEL who underwent NMRI and ICG-L between 2017 and 2021.

Assessment Tools to Quantify the Physical Aspects of Lipedema: A Systematic Review.

Lymphat Res Biol

June 2025

Sydney School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, D18 Western Avenue, Camperdown, 2006, Australia.

Lipedema diagnosis is heavily reliant on patient history. Various objective assessments have been suggested; however, a standardized measurement process is lacking. A systematic review was undertaken to identify which imaging and measurement tools are used in lipedema quantification and to review their protocols.

We currently perform noncontrast lymphatic ultrasound, which has a higher resolution and is less invasive than contrast lymphatic ultrasound. This study aimed to clarify the usefulness of screening lymphatic ultrasound (SLUS) to evaluate lymphatic function. A retrospective study was conducted on 22 patients with leg lymphedema.

BMC Med Imaging

December 2024

Department of Radiology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Yangfangdian Tieyiyuan Road No.10, Haidian District, Beijing, 100038, China.

Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic value of CT lymphangiography (CTL) and non-contrast MR lymphangiography (MRL) in lymphatic plastic bronchitis.

Materials And Methods: The clinical and imaging data of 31 patients with lymphatic plastic bronchitis diagnosed by clinical, imaging and pathological results were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent CTL and MRL.
