DOI: 10.1002/micr.31153
Abstract: Identification of the proper lymphatics is important for successful lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) for lymphedema; however, visualization of lymphatic vessels is challenging. Photoacoustic lymphangiography (PAL) can help visualize lymphatics more clearly than other modalities. Therefore, we… read more here.
