An improved hand-held four-detector /γ-probe for radioassisted oncological surgery
Abstract
The performance of an improved intraoperative γ-probe for radioassisted oncological surgery is presented and discussed. The probe is based on a square array of four 5×5 mm2 coplanar CdTe room temperature semiconductor detectors and each detector has an independent read out electronic chain, allowing an original handling of the signal. Therefore, the search for γ-emission hot points may be carried out in two different, independent ways:
