General Overview of the GammaPen System
The GammaPen is a surgical assistance system used to detect areas with high radionuclide uptake in tissues or within the body. Its primary objective is to detect and pinpoint the location of radiopharmaceuticals previously injected and distributed in the body. Common radionuclides used with the system include Tc-99m, I-131, and F-18.
Key Features and Applications
Usage in Various Surgeries:
Open surgeries
Laparoscopic procedures
Thoracoscopic procedures (internal application)
External Detection:
Can be employed externally for non-invasive measurements.
This system is designed to enhance surgical precision by allowing real-time detection of radiopharmaceutical distribution, facilitating accurate localization of target areas and improving surgical outcomes.
