Double detection of sentinel lymph nodes by Technetium-99mTC gamma radiation combined with colorimetric sensing using methylene blue is the gold standard.
Radioactively labelled colloids allow preoperative mapping and intraoperative detection of SLNs with the portable gamma probe Euro Probe 3.2
Preoperative administration of blue dye provides the surgeon with additional visual identification of SLNs.
