However, "Super paramagnetic iron oxide" or "Sentimag", which is applied by the nano-technological production which has developed in recent years, without giving radiation to the patient, applying to the patient before surgery and finding a lymph node with the help of a scanner and shortening the operation time and increasing the success is also applied in the number of oncology centers has been successfully implemented.
Sentimag technology detects the lymph nodes with higher accuracy and speed by applying methylene blue dye application. In addition, the scar that methylene blue can cause on the skin and the possible fat necrosis after it do not show side effects.
