Development and evaluation of a prototype detector for an intraoperative laparoscopic coincidence imaging system with PET tracers

ConclusionWe developed a prototype detector for an intraoperative laparoscopic coincidence imaging system. The prototype detector was evaluated successfully, and the produced images were similar to those obtained in the simulation results, thereby suggesting that this method offers a new possibility of imaging lymph node metastases intraoperatively.
