The supply of oxygen and nutrients to tissues is performed by the blood system and involves
a net leakage of fluid outward at the capillary level. One of the principal functions of the …

The lymphatic system is a vital part of the circulatory and immune systems, and plays an
important role in homeostasis by controlling extracellular fluid volume and in combating …

Background: Identification and localization of functional lymphatic vessels are important for
lymphaticovenular anastomosis. Conventional high-frequency ultrasound (CHFUS) has …

Historically, research into the lymphatic system has been overlooked due to both a lack of
knowledge and limited recognition of its importance. In the last decade however, lymphatic …

Objective To explore the feasibility of sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification by contrast-
enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in pre-operative breast cancer patients and the value of …

The pathophysiology of several lymphatic diseases, such as lymphedema, depends on the
function of lymphangions that drive lymph flow. Even though the signaling between the two …

The aim of this investigation was to achieve the first step toward a comprehensive model of
the lymphatic system. A numerical model has been constructed of a lymphatic vessel …

The lymphatic system is an extensive vascular network featuring valves and contractile walls
that pump interstitial fluid and plasma proteins back to the main circulation. Immune function …

The lymphatic system is an open-ended network of vessels that run in parallel to the blood
circulation system. These vessels are present in almost all of the tissues of the body to …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characteristics
based on primary lesion combined with lymphatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (LCEUS) …
