Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging Directly Visualizes Lymphatic Drainage Pathways and Connections between Superficial and Deep Lymphatic Systems in the Mouse Hindlimb

Abstract Since lymphedema rarely develops in the mouse hindlimb, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We herein investigated the resolution of chronic hindlimb lymphedema in mice using a Near-Infrared Fluorescence (NIRF) imaging system. Nineteen 7–28-week-old BALB/c male and female mice were in...
