A concept to combine a gamma probe with ultrasound imaging for improved localization of sentinel lymph nodes: a feasibility study of the concept

This paper presents the proof-of-concept study of an adaptor allowing the combination of a gamma probe with ultrasound (US) imaging, intending to improve the detectability of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). The performance of the adaptor in US imaging, in terms of depth of penetration and distance accu...
