Intraoperative gamma radiation detection system probe, reusable
Definition
An electrically-powered, invasive component of an intraoperative gamma radiation detection system intended to be introduced into the body during a surgical procedure to detect and quantify gamma radiation emitted from previously-administered radiopharmaceuticals (e.g., localized in sentinel lymph nodes), in conjunction with a dedicated control unit (not included). It is typically manipulated using surgical forceps and incorporates a crystal scintillator and photomultiplier. This is a reusable device.
