To achieve the visualization of regional lymph nodes using lymphoscintigraphy, 100 preoperative patients with breast cancer were studied, with [99mTc]rhenium colloid having been injected into the periosteum of their ribs. In order to identify the exact location of the visualized nodes, the obtained lymphoscintigram was superimposed onto the patient's chest roentgenogram. The visibility of the internal mammary region was 91% on the affected side, and 93% on the healthy side, whereas the visibility of the axillary region was 85% and 86%, respectively. The injection resulted in simultaneous visualization of both the internal mammary and the axillary nodes: in our series, it meant the visualization of 82 patients (82%) on the affected side and 83 patients (83%) on the healthy side. Our technique appears to be a rather efficient method for imaging the regional lymph nodes in breast cancer patients.
为了通过淋巴闪烁显像实现区域淋巴结的可视化，对100例乳腺癌术前患者进行了研究，将[99mTc]铼胶体注入其肋骨骨膜。为了确定可视化淋巴结的准确位置，将获得的淋巴闪烁显像图叠加到患者的胸部X光片上。患侧乳腺内区域的可见率为91%，健侧为93%，而腋窝区域的可见率分别为85%和86%。注射后乳腺内和腋窝淋巴结同时可视化：在我们的系列研究中，这意味着患侧82例患者（82%）和健侧83例患者（83%）实现了可视化。我们的技术似乎是一种对乳腺癌患者区域淋巴结进行成像的相当有效的方法。
