Study to Determine if Ultrasound Surface Wave Elastography Can Provide Noninvasive and Accurate Evaluation of Limb Lymphedema

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if ultrasound surface wave elastography (USWE) produces different recording patterns in healthy and lymphadematous limbs, to establish the relationship between USWE recording values and stages of lymphedema, and to understand the correlation between USWE lymphedema evaluation and other tracking modalities.
