ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Lymphedema presents diagnostic challenges due to complex symptomatology and multifaceted onset. This literature review synthesizes diagnostic measures ranging from clinical assessments to advanced imaging techniques and emerging technologies. It explores the challenges in early detection and delves into the disparities in access to advanced diagnostic tools, which exacerbate health outcome differences across populations. This review not only provides insights into the effectiveness of current diagnostic modalities but also underscores the necessity for ongoing research and innovation. The goal is to enhance the accuracy, affordability, and accessibility of lymphedema diagnostics. This is crucial for guiding future research directions and for the development of standardized diagnostic protocols that could help mitigate the progression of lymphedema and enhance the quality of life for affected individuals.
