March 2025 Research Roundtable: Sodium Imaging and its Applications with Lymphedema and Lipedema

Dr. Rachelle Crescenzi, a translational imaging scientist and founder of the Sodium Adipose and Lymphatics Translational (SALT) Imaging Lab at the University of Virginia, joined Dr. Karen Herbst at the March Research Roundtable for an engaging discussion on salt and physiology.The conversation highlighted research from Dr. Crescenzi’s lab and focused on the main tool in Dr. Crescenzi’s work: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Possibilities for future study were discussed, and audience questions surrounding muscle, water, fat, sodium, and abnormalities in fascia were also addressed. Dr. Crescenzi promised to share her latest research with the Lympha Press audience once published, but the March Research Roundtable offered a preview of insights that bring hope to both clinicians and patients with lymphedema and lipedema.This Roundtable was originally recorded live on March 3, 2025, and has been edited for time.
