| Research Abstract |
3D-CT mammary lymphography (LG) can draw the variable lymphatic flow of the breast between each individual, and can show the accurate sentinel nodes. We fused SPECT image with this 3D-CT LG and succeeded to recognize the location of RI-uptaken sentinel nodes on 3D-CT map. This makes it possible to perform the radio-guided navigation biopsy during surgery. We can find and biopsy the sentinel nodes without RI-uptake only by 3D-CT LG, and can avoid the false negative study.
