An innovative method for precise lymph node detection before surgical treatment.

CONCLUSION: We found this integrated SPET/MSCT 3D model to be much faster and easier to use as compared with the "classic" method, which was based on a radioactivity detection probe. In addition, our method was reproducible, accurate and of low cost. In other words, the method described in this paper could be very useful for health facilities with modest budget, because it obviates the need for buying expensive integrated SPET/MSCT hybrid imaging systems while detecting SNLs more accurately and in shorter time.
