SPECT/CT case acquired on Symbia T2 (Siemens Healthcare). A 54-year-old woman with breast carcinoma (pT1) for SLN mapping. Planar scintigraphy (a) detected sentinel lymph node (SLN). Subsequent SPECT/CT shows two SLNs: one in (b) typical localisation and (c, d) one in the upper axilla with 7-mm diameter. Histology proved the second SLN to be malignant (e). Imaging protocol: 102 MBq 99mTc-nanocolloid, 0 min pi scintigraphy, 75 min pi SPECT/CT; CT: 100 mAs, 130 kVp, 1-mm/3-mm slices; SPECT: 15 s/image, FBP, no CT-AC. (Courtesy of L.S.
