Feasibility of portable gamma camera imaging in intraoperative radioguided parathyroid adenoma identification
Novel surgical applications include radioguided procedures in parathyroidectomy operations. In order to investigate the feasibility of usage of the portable gamma camera in parathyroidectomy operations; intraoperative radioguided parathyroidectomy operation was performed in three hyperparathyroidism patients with inconclusive preoperative parathyroid scintigraphy results. Intraoperative portabl...
متن کاملPerformance Characteristics of a Third Generation Portable
236 Performance Characteristics of a Third Generation Portable Radionuclide Identifier Ronald M. Keyser and Timothy R. Twomey ORTEC, 801 South Illinois Avenue, Oak Ridge, TN 37830 ABSTRACT The continuing need for a hand-held, portable radionuclide identifier for use in countering illicit nuclear trafficking and in positive identification of radioactive materials, benign or threat, has fostered ...
متن کاملNew approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras
Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...
متن کاملA pixelated polarizer-based camera for instantaneous interferometric measurements
A pixel-level micropolarizer array bonded to a scientific camera has been developed for use in commercial dynamic interferometers. The pixelated array includes the 0, 45, 90, and, 135 degree polarization orientations. Micropolarizer arrays with elements as small as 7.4 microns and array sizes as large 4 Mega-pixels have been fabricated for use across the visible spectrum. The pixelated polariza...
متن کاملDevelopment of a variable-radius pinhole SPECT system with a portable gamma camera.
OBJECTIVE To develop a small-animal SPECT system using a low cost commercial portable gamma camera equipped with a pinhole collimator, a continuous scintillation crystal and a position-sensitive photomultiplier tube. MATERIAL AND METHODS The gamma camera was attached to a variable radius system, which enabled us to optimize sensitivity and resolution by adjusting the radius of rotation to the...
