Although SPECT/CT systems have been used for sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging, few studies have focused on optimization of attenuation correction (AC) and scatter correction (SC). While SLNs could be detected in conventional planar images, they sometimes do not appear in SPECT/CT images. The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimal AC and SC and to improve the detectability of SLNs in examinations using SPECT/CT systems.
