It describes all aspects of the intraoperative probe, as well as testing and simulation of the novel technique. The presentation develops the technique from the initial idea to realistic feasibility studies that have been the subject of a press release of the American Society of Nuclear Medicine. Just a year after completing this work, the technique has now been tested for the first time on a meningioma patient, confirming all of the predictions made in this thesis.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Medical physicsRadiationCancerSurgeryNuclear physicsMedical and Radiation Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27060Surgical Oncologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H59150Particle and Nuclear Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002Medical physics.Radiation.CancerSurgery.Nuclear physics.Medical and Radiation Physics.Surgical Oncology.Particle and Nuclear Physics.616.994059Collamati Francescoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut799822MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254640903321An Intraoperative Beta−Probe for Cancer Surgery2533253UNINA
