Abstract
Radio-guided surgery is defined as any surgical procedure which utilizes a radiation detection device in a real-time fashion within the operating room for the identification of a radioisotope administered to a patient prior to the time of attempted detection and with the sole purpose of assisting in the successful performance of that surgical procedure. There is a wide application domain in the surgery room for sentinel lymph node marking, marking of primary tumors and also injection of radio-isotopes for selective internal radiation therapy.
