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.
