Abstract

See full text

A tethered laparoscopic probe is provided, the tethered laparoscopic probe for deployment through a trocar into a cavity of a subject to detect gamma radiation from a radiopharmaceutical administered to the subject. The laparoscopic probe comprises a probe head shaped for insertion through the trocar and configured to be freely moveable within the cavity. The probe head comprises an elongate casing comprising radiation shielding for inhibiting gamma radiation from passing through the probe head, the radiation shielding having a detection aperture for admitting gamma radiation. The probe head further comprises a gamma radiation detector arranged within the casing, the gamma radiation detector configured to detect gamma radiation through the detection aperture of the casing. The probe head further comprises means for, in use, facilitating the localization of a source of radiation from the radiopharmaceutical within the cavity. The laparoscopic probe further comprises a tether coupled to the probe head and for, in use, tethering the probe head through the trocar.
