[The use of SPECT-CT for visualization of sentinel lymph nodes and lymph drainage pathways in prostate cancer
Abstract:
There was studied the use of SPECT-CT for visualization of sentinel lymph nodes and lymph drainage pathways in 35 patients with localized prostate cancer (cT1-T2 N0 M0). Sentinel lymph nodes were imaged in 31 (89%) patients. There were advantageously detected drainage pathways to exterior (77%) and internal iliac (58%) lymph nodes. Visceral (29%) lymph nodes (paraprostatic, paravesical and mesorectal) were less determined. There was established high informative value of SPECT-CT for imaging sentinel lymph nodes, determining their location as well as identification of lymph drainage pathways in patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
