A novel radioguided surgery technique exploiting β− decays
The background induced by the high penetration power of the radiation is the main limiting factor of the current radio-guided surgery (RGS). To partially mitigate it, a RGS with β(+)-emitting radio-tracers has been suggested in literature. Here we propose the use of β(-)-emitting radio-tracers and β(-) probes and discuss the advantage of this method with respect to the previously explored ones:...
متن کاملToward radioguided surgery with β- decays: uptake of a somatostatin analogue, DOTATOC, in meningioma and high-grade glioma.
UNLABELLED A novel radioguided surgery (RGS) technique for cerebral tumors using β(-) radiation is being developed. Checking for a radiotracer that can deliver a β(-) emitter to the tumor is a fundamental step in the deployment of such a technique. This paper reports a study of the uptake of (90)Y-DOTATOC in meningiomas and high-grade gliomas (HGGs) and a feasibility study of the RGS technique ...
متن کاملRadioguided Adrenal Surgery
The laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered as the procedure of choice for the treatment of adrenal hyperplasia and tumor lesions. However, some special situations may limit the use of this method due to the difficulty to locate the gland and perform the lesion excision. We analyze 2 patients of a left adrenal tumor, explaining how they have overcome the difficulties in both situations. The fi...
متن کاملGuidelines for radioguided parathyroid surgery.
OBJECTIVE To confirm or refute the notion that only parathyroid adenomas have radioactivity higher than 20% of background. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a prospective patient data set. SETTING Tertiary care referral center. PATIENTS Forty-six patients (9 men and 37 women; mean +/- SD age, 53.7 +/- 12.1 years) underwent thyroid and parathyroid surgery between December 2005 and December ...
متن کاملRadioguided surgery in primary hyperparathyroidism.
UNLABELLED Surgical neck exploration is usually made in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Localization of the adenoma or detection of hyperplasia may reduce the operation period and limit the extent of the surgery. In this study the effficacy of preoperative Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy and intraoperative gamma probe was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six patients with PHPT had preoperative T...
