AB  - A comprehensive description of the technical aspects of internal mammary lymphoscintigraphy utilizing Tc-99m antimony trisulfide colloid, an investigational drug, is presented. The technologist’s very important role in the imaging procedure is highlighted; it includes specific, step-by-step instruction in patient preparation, radiopharmaceutical preparation, and injection and imaging. Precautions necessary to assure accuracy of all measurements are stressed. Emphasis is placed on the need for precise documentation to insure the validity of the procedure for ready reference by interested health care professionals.
