The Node Seeker™ System is an advanced surgical radiation detection system consisting of a universal, computer-based control unitand a family of detector probes. Surgeons use Node Seeker™ probes in a variety of applications such as sentinel lymph node mapping, parathyroid surgeries, and detection of cancer with PET Isotopes.
Stage Cancer The Node Seeker™ Gamma probe identifies the sentinel lymph nodes which are the nodes in a lymphatic basin that are the first to drain the tumor site. This provides accurate cancer staging information that can: - Help determine treatment options and predict prognosis. - Identify the presence of metastasis. - Prevent the morbidity and expense of a complete lymphadenectomy.
Locate Cancer The intraoperative PET Probe™ is a new tool that enables surgeons to localize tumors that appear on the whole-body PET scan. In addition, surgeons can: - Evaluate surgical margins for the existence of small amounts of tumor. - Insure a more complete excision. - Minimize the probability of recurrence.
