SURGEOGUIDE II
Gamma probe system: SURGEOGUIDE II model
A gamma probe is a handheld device used for intraoperative use following interstitial injection of a radionuclide, to locate regional lymph nodes by their radioactivity. It is used primarily for sentinel lymph node mapping and parathyroid surgery. Radionuclides which uses usually are Tc-99m, I-131 & F-18. Gamma probes can also be used in open surgery, laparoscopy and theroscopy (inside the body), and can be used externally (outside the body). Most use of gamma probes is in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) and Radio-Guided Occult Lesion Localization (ROLL). But these systems can be used in all cases where the detection of small points with high activity distribution, high sensitivity and resolution is desired.
