Gamma Detector
GAMMA DETECTOR
Compact wireless medical device for instant intraoperative radionuclide diagnostics and biopsy of sentry lymph nodes.
This class of instruments helps to detect the patient's “sentry lymph nodes” directly during surgery and aids the surgeon in determining the required volume of lymphatic dissection.

Working principle
Using the GAMMA DETECTOR is based on scintillators - substances that emit light when absorbing ionizing radiation. The photoelectron multiplier captures light radiation emitted by the scintillator, converts it into electrical pulses and transmits them to the meter. The intensity of radiation is determined by the number of pulses recorded per unit of time.
The device has a wide range of clinical applications in oncology
The Gamma Detector performance exceeds most foreign analogues by a number of parameters
- in the ear, throat, nose pathology
- in breast cancer
- in melanoma
- in sarcoma
- in skin cancer
- in head and neck cancer
- in cancer of the esophagus, stomach, bowel and duodenum
- in oncogynecology and oncourology
Device Properties
Intraoperative
The device helps to identify sentry lymph nodes directly during surgery, which helps the surgeon to determine the volume of lymphatic dissection right at the operating table
Sensitive
The device allows quick and reliable identification even of lymph nodes hidden behind the patient's tissues and located in poorly predictable places
Radionuclide
The radiopharm drug used ( which is administered to the patient well in advance of surgery, according to the findings of the FDA and the European Health Commission) is of the class recognized as safest of all presently used
Specific
The radiopharm drug is lymphotropic, quickly spreading through tissues and accumulating only in sentry lymph nodes, allowing them to be detected confidently and quickly
Easy to use
The device is easy to use and requires no additional knowledge of radiology or engineering sciences, allowing a practicing surgeon to focus on performing surgery
