The purpose of this exhibit is to detail: 1. Surgical anatomy and principles of microvascular flap reconstruction and lymphatic reconstructive surgery. 2. Role of vascular and lymphatic imaging 3. Comparison of imaging protocols and modalities, including CT ,MR, US, lymphoscintigraphy, and fluorescence imaging. 4. Image post-processing for submillimeter vessels and lymphatics. 

1. Surgical procedures Microsurgical flap procedures  Lymphatic-venous anastomosis for the treatment of lymphedema Supermicrosurgery 2. Microsurgical anatomy 3. Imaging protocols and clinical impact for plastic and reconstructive surgery Vascular imaging: CT/MR angiography for reconstructive surgery, ranging from breast and head/neck reconstruction to facial transplantation Lymphatic imaging of extremities for diagnosis and surgical planning: high-resolution isotropic 3D MR lymphangiography and lymphoscintigraphy 4. Imaging and surgical findings 5. Comparison of imaging modalities (CT, MR, US, lymphoscintigraphy, and near-infrared fluorescence imaging), as well as review of existing literatures. 6. Future directions and summary
