“…Moreover, there will be plummet in the surgical process time to minutes from hours, and a definitive advantage of decreased morbidity pertaining to the staging operation. 17 The identification of all draining nodal basins in the sequence of manifestation from the main tumor is made possible by wide-fieldof-view, dynamic imaging. Radical neck dissection and consequent morbidity are avoided in the event that the sentinel node's excisional biopsy is negative.…”

A "branch or specialty of medicine & medical imaging that uses radionuclides and relies on the process of radioactive decay in the diagnosis and treatment of disease" is known as nuclear medicine. Assessing physiologic change, which follows biochemical changes, is made easier with the use of radionuclide imaging, which is sometimes referred to as a functional imaging approach. Scintigraphy is a diagnostic procedure used in nuclear medicine where radioisotopes are administered internally into the body in liquid or gaseous forms, and the distinctive radiation that emerges is captured by external detectors known as gamma cameras, producing two-dimensional pictures. Bone scintigraphy, lymphoscintigraphy, salivary gland scintigraphy, and radio-immuno-scintigraphy are a few examples of scintigraphy techniques.Nuclear imaging has the advantage of giving extremely high levels of diagnostic sensitivity, which is successful in identifying even the smallest pathophysiological changes that are highlighted in the process of diagnosing early-stage to progressive diseases, making it the preferred diagnostic modality.
