Lymphatic mapping to guide sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) typically requires lymphoscintigraphy prior to surgery. In young pediatric patients, this process often requires intubation in the nuclear medicine suite followed by transport to the operating room (OR).

Use of intraoperative nuclear imaging leads to decreased anesthesia time and real-time confirmation of lesion removal.
