Abstract

The evaluation tools of lymphedema include limb measurements, bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), color Doppler imaging and lymphoscintigraphy. Lymphedema can be categorized into several stages according to the severity off clinical manifestations.
