Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed the mechanism of the improvement of lymphedema using mouse hind limb model, with fluorescence lymphatic imaging using indocyanine green and in vivo imaging system as a fluorescence detector. To evaluate the improvement of lymphedema paw volume was measured using a water displacement plethysmometer, We found a constant correlation between a degree of paw edema improvement and the reduction of the intensity of fluorescence.
