Lymphoscintigraphy introduction of a radioactive tracer into the lymph channels to
determine lymph flow, identify obstructions, and locate the sentinel node
Bioimpedance electrical current
must rely on population data
Perometer An infrared optoelectronic technology to detect & quantify limb volume &
changes
Volume is determined from the 3D silhouette cast of the limb; which is created when the limb is
passed though a ray of optoelectronic sensors
Computerized Tomography (CT series of x-rays in cross- sectional images- more detailed
than regular x-ray.
can show difference b/w fatty tissue and lymph fluid accumulation with objective
measurements
Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) Radio waves and magnetic fields generate images,
especially of organs and/or tumors
,Indirect image of lymph fluid accumulation.
Venous Doppler US to evaluate blood flow in arteries/veins.
Can determine DVTs and/or venous involvement with lymphedema
Cellulitis an acute streptococcal infection of the skin and the subcutaneous fatty tissues
heat, discoloration, pain, edema, and fever/malaise/chills/HAs
DVT (deep vein thrombosis) Initiate compression wraps or garments when bedrest is
discontinued (clot has stabilized).
No MLD-
until 4-6 wks post calf DVT;
4-8 wks post thigh DVT;
8-12 wks post pelvic vein DVT;
Lifetime contraindication for deep MLD on the abdomen after pelvic DVT
