Functional lymphatic imaging was demonstrated in the abdomen and anterior hindlimb of
anesthetized, intact Yorkshire swine by using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging …

Background: Whereas functional lymph imaging in rodents is imperative for drug discovery
of lymph therapeutics, noninvasive imaging of propulsive lymph function in rodents has not …

In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of noninvasive imaging modalities
used clinically for the diagnosis of lymphatic diseases, new imaging agents for assessing …

Introduction: Near-infrared (NIR) imaging has emerged as a novel imaging modality for
assessing lymphatic function in vivo. While the technique has provided quantitative data …

The lymphatic vascular system is an important component of the circulatory system that
maintains fluid homeostasis, provides immune surveillance, and mediates fat absorption in …

Techniques to image lymphatic vessel function in either animal models or in the clinic are
limited. In particular, imaging methods that can provide robust outcome measures for …

Background: Absorbance of near-infrared (600–800 nm) light by the tissue components
water, melanin, and hemoglobin is minimal. This property allows the use of near-infrared …

Near-infrared imaging of lymphatic drainage of injected indocyanine green (ICG) has
emerged as a new technology for clinical imaging of lymphatic architecture and …

There is a lack of available methods to noninvasively quantify lymphatic function in small
experimental animals, a necessity for studies on lymphatic system pathophysiology. We …

Optical imaging methods have been developed to measure lymphatic function in skin;
however, the lymphatic system of many organs is not accessible to this technology. Since …
