Read articleExplore detailed insights into intraoperative detection, radioguided surgery, and the technology shaping the future of surgical oncology.
Intraoperative detection leverages advanced scintillation detectors and PET radiotracers to identify residual tumor tissue in real time. This approach provides surgeons with actionable feedback, enhancing precision and supporting confident decision-making during critical procedures.
PET radiotracers enable highly sensitive localization of cancerous tissue by emitting signals detectable by specialized probes. Their use in surgery allows for sub-millimetric accuracy, reducing the risk of residual tumor and improving patient outcomes.
Detection systems are designed for seamless integration into existing surgical workflows. Ergonomic probes and intuitive interfaces ensure that surgeons can access nuclear information without disrupting procedural efficiency or sterility.
Surgeons, patients, and hospitals all benefit: surgeons gain real-time guidance, patients experience improved surgical outcomes, and hospitals see enhanced procedural efficiency and reduced reoperation rates.
Ongoing collaborations with leading clinical teams and published studies demonstrate the efficacy of intraoperative nuclear detection. Evidence highlights improved margin assessment, reduced recurrence rates, and safe integration into diverse surgical environments.
Human-centered design principles guide the development of detection tools, prioritizing intuitive operation, ergonomic handling, and clear visual feedback. This ensures that advanced technology remains accessible and effective in the demanding environment of the operating room.
