ABSTRACT

Lymphoedema is a debilitating disease that results in chronic swelling of a body region due to a dysfunctional lymphatic system. Since a cure is yet to be identified for this disease, management is currently the best option for preventing disease progression and improving patient outcomes. Fluorescence lymphography is a popular approach for mapping the lymphatic vessels to provide information about the underlying lymphatic dysfunction. However, current clinical fluorescence lymphography tools do not enable the creation of comprehensive 3D maps of lymphatics throughout affected limbs. This work presents the development toward multi-camera 3D reconstruction with fluorescence imaging to overcome the current limitations in clinical tools. Pilot studies have been performed that identify suitable instrumentation for this multi-camera approach and techniques for creating a 3D fluorescence lymphography device are discussed.Clinical Relevance- This paper presents development toward new low-cost and portable clinical tools for lymphoedema diagnosis and to facilitate personalised treatment and self-management of this disease.
