Key Points Question Is a nonradioactive imaging approach for sentinel lymph node detection a viable alternative to radioactive technetium? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 83 patients with newly diagnosed melanoma, sentinel lymph node detection via indocyanine green and multispectral optoacoustic tomographic imaging was concordant with the detection frequency of conventional lymphoscintigraphic imaging with technetium Tc 99m. Meaning Multispectral optoacoustic tomographic imaging may allow nonradioactive detection of sentinel lymph nodes at a frequency similar to the current radiotracer standard.
