This book offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art
in the practice of radioguided surgery. The opening section is
devoted to the basic physics principles for detection and
imaging, radiation detection device technology, principles of
surgical navigation, radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals, and
radiation safety. A series of chapters then address the clinical
application of radioguided surgery for a variety of malignancies,
including breast cancer, melanoma and other cutaneous
malignancies, gynecologic malignancies, head and neck
malignancies, thyroid cancer, urologic malignancies, colon
cancer, gastroesophageal cancer, lung cancer, bone tumors,
parathyroid adenomas, and neuroendocrine tumors. For each
application, the recommended methodological approaches are
discussed and the available cumulative clinical experiences of
investigators from across the globe are reviewed. A conscious
effort is made to highlight recent developments and innovative
multidisciplinary approaches within each clinical area.
Interesting issues and novel approaches are further explored
through a collection of selected case reports at the end of the
book. The contributing authors are all experts in their own
fields, ensuring that the book will hold wide appeal for
surgeons, surgical technologists, nuclear medicine physicians,
nuclear medicine technologists, and various trainees.
