Imaging techniques for the lymphatic system
Michael Bernas

Presentation will consist of an overview of current imaging techniques used to visualize the lymphatic system including description of machines, image acquisition, techniques, and sample images. Historical imaging methods will be presented followed by current imaging techniques (nuclear medicine, MR, CT, US, ICG fluorescence) with a focus on lymphangioscintigraphy (LAS). Examples of LAS imaging patterns from patients with and without lymphatic abnormalities will be shown and participants will have a chance to test their new knowledge. Participants completing the session should gain an understanding the imaging of lymphatic and lymphatic-related conditions and both discussion and questions will be highly encouraged.
