standardization of photography in plastic surgery is fundamental for pre-operative surgical planning, comparative post-operative assessment, and demonstration of surgical results.1 in rhinoplasty, slight changes in patient or camera position can lessen nasal hump, vary nose size, and alter skin tension.2 in order to prevent these common errors, photographic standardization with high-quality equ...

Introduction: Scatter radiation is one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine data processing. Different methods of scatter correction have been introduced in order to improve the quality of data. However the best method is to avoid recording of scatter photons in acquisition. The only difference between scattered and non-scattered photons is the energy. Pulse height analyzer i...

Accurate 3D reconstruction of the surgical scene is important in intra-operative guidance. Existing methods are often based on the assumption that the camera is static or the tissue is deforming with periodic motion. In minimally invasive surgery, these assumptions do not always hold due to free-form tissue deformation induced by instrumenttissue interaction and camera motion required for conti...

The sentinel lymph node was defined as the first lymph node to receive drainage from a primary cancer. The aims of this study were to investigate the efficacy of radiocolloid lymphoscintigraphy and of the hand-held gamma probe procedure for sentinel lymph node biopsy in papillary thyroid carcinoma and to evaluate these results in clinical staging. A total of 99 consecutive papillary thyroid car...

Ovariectomy (OVE) is a routine surgical procedure for neutering in small animal practice. Laparoscopy is a new surgical technique which contains advantages such as less trauma, smaller incision and excellent visualization than traditional open surgery. The present study was conducted to examine the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic procedure through two portal comparing with the convention...

The proximal femoral nail (PFN) is a recently introduced intramedullary system, designed to improve treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures of the hip. In a multicentre prospective clinical study, the intra-operative use, complications and outcome of treatment using the PFN (n = 211) were compared with those using the gamma nail (GN) (n = 213). The intra-operative blood loss was lower with...

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...
