C G Berman et al. Surg Oncol Clin N Am. 1999 Jul.

Abstract

Lymphoscintigraphy is the injection of radioactive particles that are then imaged as they pass through lymphatic vessels to their respective lymph nodal drainage basins. Lymphoscintigraphy is receiving increasing interest as a means to stage regional lymph nodes in early stage malignancy. Injection and imaging techniques for performing breast and melanoma lymphoscintigraphy are discussed in this article.
