Figure 5From: Contribution of dynamic sentinel lymphoscintigraphy images to the diagnosis of patients with malignant skin neoplasms in the upper and lower extremitiesA case of malignant melanoma of the left middle finger. (a) Early-phase dynamic image showed a hot spot thought to be LN on the cubitus (black arrow). (b) Late-phase dynamic image showed the lymphatic channel to the axilla and a hot spot thought to be LN on the axillary region. (c) Static image about 20Â min after tracer injection showed the hot spots on both cubitus (black arrow) and axilla, and lymphatic channels to the cubitus and axilla. (d) Diagram of late-phase dynamic image and static image. It is difficult to assess both lymphatic channels pass through the axillary LN (black arrow) or not because of blurred images.Back to article page
