	abstract = {The secondary lymphedema is mostly caused due to injury of lymphatic system during cancer treatment and its psychological and cosmetic issues are very critical for patients since it can cause severe thickening and swelling of lesions, mostly upper and lower limbs. Therefore, early diagnosis of the secondary lymphedema is more important to treat the symptoms in advance. The amplitude-mode (A-mode) ultrasound is suggested as an early diagnostic modality because it is relatively more cost-effective, portable, and easy to use than other previous diagnostic modalities. In order to see features of the A-mode ultrasound forearly diagnosis of lymphedema, ultrasound lymphedema phantoms were  designed and fabricated with patient-specific subcutaneous honeycomb structures at the sub-stages of the international society of lymphedema (ISL) stage II and gelatin- or gelatin-salt based phantom materials. The patent-specific honeycomb structures were segmented from computed tomography (CT) venography images using various image process technologies and printed using a three dimensional (3D) printer for which its printing material shows similar acoustic impedance range with human subcutaneous tissues. The lymphedema phantoms showed similar subcutaneous anatomical features to those of patient's imagesin brightness mode (B-mode) ultrasound examination, and acoustic information originated from the stage-specific honeycomb structures was well represented in A-mode ultrasound examination. In particular, the A-mode wave form well represented stage-specific  honeycomb information even with higher impedance value of fibrous fat region. Such stage-specific wave form information of A-mode ultrasound for the corresponding stage-specific lymphedema phantoms at the ISL stage II can be useful for further development of an A-mode ultrasound applications for early diagnosis of the secondary lymphedema.},
