Interventional nuclear medicine: a focus on radioguided intervention and surgery.

Interventional nuclear medicine: a focus on radioguided intervention and surgery. Q J Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2021 Jan 26;: Authors: Rietbergen DD, van Oosterom MN, Kleinjan GH, Brouwer OR, Valdes-Olmos RA, van Leeuwen FW, Buckle T Abstract Within Interventional Nuclear Medicine (iNM) a prominent role is allocated for the subdiscipline of radioguided surgery. Unique for this discipline is the fact that an increasing number of clinical indications (e.g. lymphatic mapping, local tumor demarcation and/or tumor receptor targeted applications) have been adopted into routine care. The clinical integration is further strengthened by technical innovations in chemistry and engineering that enhance the translational potential of radioguided procedures in iNM. Together, these features not only ensure ongoing expansion of iNM but also warrant a lasting clinical impact for the sub-discipline of radioguided surgery.
