Abstract/OtherAbstract:
METHODS: Ten patients were enrolled for this study, and all received radiotracer prepared using a 100-nm membrane filter at a commercial radiopharmacy. Whole-body scans and SPECT/CT studies were performed within 1.5-3 h after the radiotracer had been administered directly into 6 locations of the prostate gland under transrectal ultrasound guidance. The radiation dose was estimated from the first 3 patients. Lymphatic drainage mapping was performed, and lymph nodes were identified.
RESULTS: The estimated radiation dose ranged from 3.9 to 5.2 mSv/MBq. The locations of lymph nodes draining the prostate gland were similar to those found using the proprietary product.
CONCLUSION: When the proprietary radiolabeled nanocolloid indicated for lymphoscintigraphy is not available, prostate lymph node mapping and identification are still feasible using filtered (99m)Tc-sulfur nanocolloid.
