Advancing Lipedema Diagnosis - The Role of Rest/Stress Lymphoscintigraphy
- In today’s episode, we’ll dive into a study conducted by a team of surgeons in Italy, led by Dr. Tartaglione.
- The paper, titled Rest/Stress Intradermal Lymphoscintigraphy in the Diagnosis of Lipedema, was published in the World Journal of Nuclear Medicine in 2020.
- The researchers propose using rest/stress lymphoscintigraphy not only to diagnose lipedema in its early stages but also to assess lymphatic function in more advanced stages of the condition.
- This method offers a promising approach for early detection and ongoing evaluation of lipedema.
