Area of Science:

Lymphatic system biology
Medical imaging technologies

Background:

The lymphatic system is crucial for lipid absorption, fluid balance, and immune responses.
It dynamically responds to infection, inflammation, hemodynamic changes, and cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

To review recent advancements in in vivo lymphatic imaging.
To highlight the role of these techniques in understanding lymphatic system function in disease.

Main Methods:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Computed tomography (CT)
Lymphoscintigraphy
Emerging optical imaging techniques

Main Results:

These imaging modalities enable longitudinal, non-destructive visualization of lymphatic processes.
Recent advances offer new insights into disease progression and regression.

Conclusions:

In vivo lymphatic imaging is essential for both basic science and clinical research.
Improved visualization aids in understanding the lymphatic system's role in disease and developing therapies.
