Does the L-Dex device distinguish between lymphedema and other types of edema?
The L-Dex device device is not a definitive diagnostic tool and cannot distinguish between lymphedema (swelling in the extracellular compartment) and that caused by other means such as trauma (which may include both intra and extracellular swelling). The healthcare professional should take into account the patient history when interpreting the L-Dex values.
