We are looking into the process of sentinel lymph node biopsies. I have been
told that the levels of radiation are nothing to be concerned about for
handling of the biopsies. But when I have done some research on the Web for
these biopsies it talks about a lead box for transport, rings and badges for
monitoring and labeling of the specimen as radioactive. Could I please hear
from the labs that are doing these and how they handle them. 

Thanks in advance
