State-of-the-art imaging for children with central lymphatic disorders

Abstract

Lymphatic imaging plays a crucial role in novel lymphatic interventions, offering valuable insights into central lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic system abnormalities may appear in various pediatric disorders, and accurate imaging is crucial for effective diagnosis and tailored therapeutic interventions. Traditional imaging modalities have offered valuable insights, but the demand for non-invasive, high-resolution techniques has fueled the development of innovative lymphatic imaging methods. In this review, we explore the state of the art in lymphatic imaging specifically within the context of pediatric surgery.
