Computer modelling of response of the Modelo-2 gamma probe used in intraoperative localisation of tumors

During the last decade hand-held gamma probes have been introduced into both tumor localisation and surgery. The technique, labelled RIGA (radioimmuno-guided endoscopy), proved to be of help in various stages of the patient treatment preoperational (localisation, as accurate, as possible of even small-size tumor targets), intraoperational (an on-line assessment of the efficiency of the radical surgery) and postoperational, identification of possible local recurrence and metastases
