The battery-powered system is optimised for intra-operative use. It is fully sterilisable and wirelessly connected to a PC running a graphical user interface. Successful pilot clinical trials have shown the use in oncological surgery.A Handheld beta(+) Probe for Intra-Operative Detection of Radiotracerstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
