BackgroundBreast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a common complication following breast cancer treatment. While lymphoscintigraphy is considered the diagnostic gold standard, it is unsuitable for routine periodic monitoring or assessment of treatment efficacy. Shear wave elastography (SWE) offers a possible alternative, but traditional modes of operation limit its potential. Proposed SolutionsThe Holder-Optimized Elastography (HOE) method is introduced to eliminate pressure issues introduce...
