Development of technologies, techniques, and protocols that make a surgical procedure incorporating radioisotope imaging possible and successful requires significant understanding of the technologies, techniques, and protocols relevant to the surgical task, and of the patient management goals of the surgical procedure. With emphasis on the imaging component of integration of imaging into...

2. SPECT/CT and a portable gamma camera to optimize sentinel node visualization in urological malignancies and head and neck cancer

Dr Lenka Vermeeren (Department of Nuclear Medicine, Netherlands Cancer Institute - Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital)

Exact localization of radioactive sentinel nodes is requisite to provide accurate staging with lymphatic mapping. SPECT/CT can exactly localize sentinel nodes and is able to depict more sentinel nodes than conventional (planar) images. It especially adds relevant information in areas with a complex anatomy, like the head and neck region and in pelvic and retroperitoneal areas. A portable gamma...
