  "term": "technetium Tc-99m-labeled rhenium sulfide nanocolloid",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "A colloid formulation of rhenium sulfide that is labeled with the gamma-emitting epitope technetium Tc 99m (Tc-99m) with diagnostic imaging activity. Upon administration, the 99mTc-colloidal rhenium sulfide is taken up by the lymph nodes. This allows imaging of the lymphatic drainage pattern during sentinel lymph node mapping, also known as lymphoscintigraphy.",
