In a systematic review of objective lipedema assessment tools, two ultrasound studies documented anatomical measurement points (mid-thigh, mid-shin, supra-malleolar), and one (Amato 2021) proposed a diagnostic cut-off of pretibial subcutaneous thickness >11.8 mm, though no study reported machine frequency/gain or acquisition time, limiting reproducibility.
