Pre-operative planar scintigraphy and intra-operative probe detection have been performed in a variety of solid tumors in the last decade.
Actually the new nuclear medicine tool is to better localize sentinel node and discover deeply located ones in mediastinum , abdomen and pelvis .
Moreover, to improve anatomical information, hybrid imaging devices such as SPECT-CT and PET-CT , that...

The Silicon PhotoMultiplier (SiPM) has recently come out as a very promising photodetector for many forthcoming applications. Its capability to detect and resolve single photons, along with its wonderful timing figure, small size, insensitivity to magnetic fields, low voltage operations, intrinsic protection from accidental exposure to ambient light, make it a strong candidate for many future...

In this talk, we summarize the advances in electronics (for SiPms and other relevant technologies) in the context of intraoperative imagers. Those advances involve mainly ASIC designs. Emphasis will be given to intraoperative imagers designed for “SPECT” pharmaceuticals such as Tc99m-labeled colloids (low energy, single-photon detection). Different approaches for the electronics will be...

We have developed an advanced multi-spectral fluorescence real-time imaging platform for assessing in positive surgical margins, loco-regional metastases and overall physiological and molecular biomarkers intra-operatively. The approach utilizes fluorochromes with targeting specificity, advanced optical imaging instrumentation and algorithms that yield quantitative and sensitive fluorescence...
