Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on lymphedema in breast cancer patients, highlighting the limitations of standard evaluation methods that fail to assess tissue fibrosis and microstructures through ultrasound.
- - Forty-two women with unilateral lymphedema, averaging 58 years old, had their affected and control limbs compared using ultrasonography to measure biophysical characteristics like thickness and echogenicity.
- - Results showed significant differences in echogenicity and thickness between the affected and unaffected arms, confirming that ultrasound is effective in identifying and measuring tissue changes in lymphedema related to breast cancer treatment.
