An Intraoperative Beta−Probe for Cancer Surgery by Francesco Collamati

By Francesco Collamati

This thesis specializes in a singular radio-guided surgical procedure method for entire tumor resections. It describes all points of the intraoperative probe, in addition to trying out and simulation of the unconventional method. The presentation develops the method from the preliminary notion to life like feasibility reports which have been the topic of a statement of the yank Society of Nuclear medication. only a 12 months after finishing this paintings, the process has now been validated for the 1st time on a meningioma sufferer, confirming all the predictions made during this thesis.
