Assessment of the lymphedema patient

Abstract

The various elements used in assessing the lymphedema patient are presented. These include the History and Physical examination and the various measurements that include limb circumference, limb volume, and bio-impedence spectroscopy. In addition, the different imaging techniques used to assess the lymphatic system are discussed. Finally, a treatment algorithm is presented for the treatment of the lymphedema patient.
