Several small gamma cameras (SGCs) intended for surgical use are now in development or currently being marketed. In this review, we discuss the characteristics, performance, and clinical use of SGCs which are hand-held and small enough to be easily managed by surgeons during their procedures. We expect that SGCs have the potential to be used more widely in radioguided surgery. As advancing molecular imaging technologies will broaden clinical indications, SGCs will likely be used and integrated with other imaging modalities into numerous types of radioguided surgery in the near future.
目前有几款用于外科手术的小型伽马相机(SGC)正在研发或已推向市场。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了那些手持且小巧到足以让外科医生在手术过程中轻松操作的 SGC 的特点、性能和临床应用。我们预计 SGC 有可能在放射性导向手术中得到更广泛的应用。随着分子成像技术的进步,将会拓宽临床适应证,在不久的将来,SGC 将与其他成像模式一起,被应用于多种放射性导向手术中。
