Abstract: Elastography can study the soft tissues by quantitative imaging of strain and elastic modulus distributions in soft tissues. For lymphedema, the strain profile of the soft tissues can be observed with the elastography to classify the lymphedema and evaluate the effect of rehabilitation.

Key words: elastography, lymphedema, rehabilitation, assessment, review
