Crawford Y1 - 2002/03/01 UR - http://tech.snmjournals.org/content/30/1/18.abstract N2 - Lymphoscintigraphy for sentinel node (SN) localization was performed on a 60-y-old man with a melanoma on his back. Skin contamination occurred as a result of the radiopharmaceutical dose administration. Skin contamination could result in a misinterpretation of the SN location. Careful observation of the procedure avoided a misinterpretation with this study. ER -
