Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine the preferred microbubble agent (Lumason®,
Optison®, and Definity®) for lymphatic channel visualization by ultrasound. This research
will also evaluate the utility of preoperative high-frequency B-mode ultrasound with
contrast-enhanced ultrasound for presurgical planning, and ultrasound shear wave elastography
for assessing treatment response at 6-month follow up.
