Using the Indocyanine Green (ICG) Lymphography to Screen Breast Cancer Patients at High Risk for Lymphedema

Diagnostics, 2022
Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography is a newer technique for diagnosing lymphedema. Our study aimed to find whether the abnormality of ICG lymphography can predict the occurrence of early lymphedema and then select candidates at high risk of
