Abstract
Two patients with malignant melanoma were evaluated using Tl-201 scint igraphy. Planar scintigraphy showed tumor accumulation, and SPECT Tl-2 01 imaging revealed exact tumor localization. The findings indicate th e utility of Tl-201 to detect the primary lesion and to identify posto perative recurrence in malignant melanoma.
