Table 3
Requirements for intra-operative imaging.
| | Portable gamma camera | Manageable design (portable and stable) | | Sufficient resolution and detection sensitivity | | No delay between image acquisition and display (real-time imaging) | | Adequate field of view |
| | Intra-operative situation | No interference with field of operation | | Possibility for continuous monitoring | | Spatial orientation on screen | | Possibility to use pointers for position and localization | | Real-time quantification of the number of counts per second |
| | Sentinel node | Sufficient uptake of the radiotracer by the sentinel node |
