A VISUAL TECHNIQUE FOR RADIOGUIDED SURGERY

Radioguided surgery allows surgeons to identify and resect tissues suspected of metastatic involvement which are impossible to identify with other techniques. Researchers at UCSF have invented a device to greatly improve the surgeon's ability to locate the distribution of radiation emission with the anatomy of the patient by a unique visual technique. This invention can be applied to an intraoperative single-element probe, an interoperative imaging probe, and/or a radionuclide imager.
