Abstract:
Two patients with malignant melanoma were evaluated using Tl-201 scintigraphy. Planar scintigraphy showed tumor accumulation, and SPECT Tl-201 imaging revealed exact tumor localization. The findings indicate the utility of Tl-201 to detect the primary lesion and to identify postoperative recurrence in malignant melanoma.
