We describe a new method for the fusion of single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images using an acrylic resin marker containing 99 m‐Tc phytate and viewing software (Fusion Viewer Version 1.0 for Windows). This method provided the fusion of SPECT and CT images in a short time and made it easy to identify the sentinel lymph nodes in the patient with extramammary Paget's disease of the scrotum.
