A multimodality localization technique for radio-guided surgery
BACKGROUND Intraoperative localization of image or endoscopy-detected lesions occasionally pose surgical challenges due to the small lesion size and/or difficult anatomic exposure. Identification of such lesions can be facilitated using a hand-held gamma probe with utilization of Tc-99m macroaggregate albumen (MAA) localization technique. The radiopharmaceutical injection can be performed using...
متن کاملMinimally invasive radio-guided surgery for hyperparathyroidism: an experience with Tc-99m Sestamibi
Introduction: Radio-guided parathyroid surgery along with other minimally invasive surgeries constitutes the main surgical treatment procedures for different kinds of hyperparathyroidism. In this article we have reported our experience of radio-guided parathyroid surgery using Tc-99m sestamibi. Methods: Ten patients with hyperparathyroidism included in our study. ...
متن کاملAssessment of Ultrasound / Radio-guided Occult Lesion Localization in Non-palpable Breast Lesions
Objective(s): Controversy exists about the localization of non-palpable breast lesions. In many countries, the gold standard for the diagnosis of these lesions is needle localization due to its accuracy. This study sought to compare the ultrasoundand radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) as a simple method with the conventional procedures in terms of their diagnostic power. Methods: Th...
متن کاملRadio-guided occult lesion localization for nonpalpable suspicious breast lesions: A novel technique
Background: Breast screening programs and increased self-awareness has led to increased identification of early breast cancers. Up to 25% of mammographicaly identified lesions are nonpalpable, which require a precise technique to localize and excise completely. Radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) is a technique, which uses hand held gamma probe to accurately localize and completely e...
متن کاملLocalization-guided surgery for breast cancer.
The importance of localizationguided surgery in breast cancer cannot be underestimated. In countries with screening programmes, one-third of all breast cancers diagnosed are clinically occult1. The extension of breast screening age and increased utilization of advanced imaging modalities such as MRI mean that localization-guided surgery will become increasingly necessary. The standard technique...
