Hybrid Modality Fusion of Planar Scintigrams and CT Topograms to Localize Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Breast Lymphoscintigraphy: Technical Description and Phantom Studies

<table>Phantom Setup for Breast Lymphoscintigraphy Studies.  The micro spheres used to represent the lymph nodes are applied directly to the surface of the thorax phantom.  0.5 cm of thin superflab is placed over the nodes, then the chest overlay and breast phantoms are positioned.  The 4.0 mL sphere used for the injection site is then embedded in a 2-3 cm thick piece of superflab that is placed on one of the breast phantoms.</table>
