Localisation of sentinel lymph nodes in patients with melanomas by planar lymphoscintigraphic and hybrid SPECT/CT imaging

Original language description

The aim of the study was to assess the role of planar lymphoscintigraphy and fusion imaging of SPECT/CT in sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification in patients with melanomas. Planar and hybrid SPECT/low-dose CT lymphoscintigraphy were performed in 113 consecutive patients with melanomas (59 men, 54 women, mean age 57.6 with range 11?87 years, BMI 29.4 12.5). The radiopharmaceutical was injected around the tumour (Group A, 59 patients), or around the scar (Group B, 54 patients). Localisation of melanomas: head and neck 4, trunk 55, upper extremities 28, lower extremities 26. Planar and SPECT/CT images were interpreted separately by two nuclear medicine physicians. Abilities of these two techniques to image SLN were compared. SLNs were detected on lymphoscintigraphy comprising planar and SPECT-CT images in 108 (95.6%) study patients; there was failure to detect SLNs in the remaining 5 (4.4%) patients. Planar images identified 253 SLNs in 100 (88.5%) pts, with a mean of 2.2 1.7 (range 0?
