Imaging in cutaneous melanoma.
TL;DR: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is a common malignancy and imaging, particularly lymphoscintigraphy (LS), positron-emission tomography with 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET), ultrasound, radiography computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging have important roles in staging and restaging, surgical guidance, surveillance and assessment of recurrent disease.

TL;DR: Axillary lymphatic drainage from the breast is not exclusively to the anterior group of Level I lymph nodes in the axilla, but may drain to the mid axilla and/or posterior group in about 50% of patients with breast cancer regardless of the location of the cancer in the breast.

TL;DR: An essential prerequisite for a successful sentinel node biopsy (SNB) procedure is an accurate map of the pattern of lymphatic drainage from the primary tumor site, and lymphoscintigraphy (LS) in SNB is to provide such a map in each patient.

The Reproducibility in Routine Clinical Practice of Sentinel Lymph Node Identification by Pre-operative Lymphoscintigraphy in Patients with Cutaneous Melanoma
TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of the reproducibility of the LS results indicates that in routine clinical practice LS is a highly reproducible procedure to locate and radiolabel the SLNs prior to biopsy in patients with melanoma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility of reducing the injected activity for whole-body [18F]FDG-PET/CT studies of paediatric oncology patients and to assess the usefulness of time-of-flight (TOF) acquisition on PET image quality at reduced count levels.
