Lymphedema Impact and Prevalence International Study: The Canadian Data.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Compared to volume/circumference measurements to diagnose lymphedema, thickening and disturbance of echogenicity of cutis and subcutis associated with the development of lymphedema is measured directly by ultrasonography. The aim of the present study was to investigate the evolution of thickness and echogeni...
