Recent advances in indocyanine green lymphography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and lymphoscintigraphy have led to the improved assessment of lymphatic vessels in the patients with extremities of lymphedema.[sup][5] However, the assessment of central lymphatic vessels, such as the thoracic duct (TD), is uncommon.
