title: The application of internal mammary lymphoscintigraphy to planning of radiation therapy.
abstract: A technique is described for the anterior and lateral imaging of the thorax during internal mammary lymphoscintigraphy. It permits reliable estimates of lymph-node location to within 3 mm of the actual location. Use of the results from these measurements can be directly applied to radiation portal planning.
