DUALN = degree uptake in axillary lymph nodes; VVAL = velocity visualization of axillary lymph nodes; classified according to Table 1.11 The presence or absence of radiopharmaceutical absorption by the liver (RAL), collateral circulation (CC) and dermal backflow (DBFL) were also analyzed

All analyses were adjusted for age and BMI
