Beams develops intraoperative detection technologies that use medical radiation to reveal tumor tissue during cancer surgery improving precision, reducing residual disease, and supporting surgeons in securing clear margins.


Our innovation is strengthened by partnerships with leading research institutes, hospitals and deep‑tech organisations committed to advancing intraoperative cancer detection. These collaborators provide scientific insight, clinical feedback and expert guidance that help shape and validate our technology.
We are also backed by national innovation funds, investor networks and deep‑tech sponsors whose support accelerates our research and brings nuclear‑guided precision to operating rooms worldwide. Their funding fuels our growth, clinical trials and the broader adoption of our solutions.
Empowering surgeons with real-time, intraoperative tumor detection. Our advanced systems integrate nuclear medicine and photonics to deliver actionable guidance and improve patient outcomes.
Harnessing PET radiotracers and sensitive detectors, our technology reveals sub-millimetric tumor margins, enabling confident surgical navigation.
Designed for seamless use in the operating room, our tools combine ergonomic form factors with intuitive interfaces for efficient workflows.
Instant detection and visualization of residual tumor tissue support faster decisions and reduce the risk of incomplete resection.
Developed alongside leading clinical teams, our solutions are validated through rigorous research and real-world surgical experience.
Beams develops intraoperative systems that couple beta-radiation detection with surgical tools and workflows. By using established radiotracers already injected for imaging or therapy, our technology turns scintillation signals into intuitive feedback for surgeons – directly at the point of care
