2 Fig. 1 Fusion image of the primary lymphatic landing sites (n=284 of 60 bladder sites) transferred from three-dimensional (3D) data sets and superimposed into idealised anterior–posterior projection of the pelvis. All lymph nodes (LNs) depicted 3D reconstruction of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) data sets and confirmed by surgery were subsequently transferred into a template projection of the pelvis. LNs are color coded in relation to the vascular structures and ureters.

3 Fig. 2 Boundaries of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) subdivided into different regions and distribution of the corresponding technetium 99m–positive lymph nodes: external iliac, (Ia) distal and (Ib) proximal; obturator fossa, (IIa) distal and (IIb) proximal; internal iliac, (IIIa) distal and (IIIb) proximal; common iliac, (IVa) distal and(IVb) proximal; and (V) para-aortic/caval.
