Abstract
Purpose Radioguided sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care in breast cancer and melanoma. Additional preoperative Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for improved anatomical co-registration of the SLNs causes additional radiation exposure and is time-consuming and expensive. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate a novel approach involving real-time fusion of freehand SPECT (fhSPECT) and...
