DUAL IMAGE SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR ONCOLOGICAL DIAGNOSES AND REAL TIME GUIDED BIOPSIES
WO2018229311
The present invention relates to a dual image system, suitable for oncological diagnoses and real time guided biopsies, comprising: an ultrasound imaging device for obtaining signals associated with one or more anatomical images; a gamma ray detector for obtaining signals associated with one or more functional images; an electronic module for processing the signals obtained by the detectors; a casing housing the detectors; characterized in that the gamma ray detector is a gamma ray Compton scattering detector, comprising at least two individual gamma detectors aligned substantially in the same detection direction and with the detection surfaces substantially parallel to each other; the ultrasound imaging device and the gamma ray detector have detection directions substantially aligned with each other.
- Can guide biopsies through a dual image system, both anatomical and functional, to guide the needle to the most representative area and avoid multiple sampling. - It allows more precise and effective biopsies, avoiding unnecessarydamages to the patient, facilitating an early and accurate diagnosis. - Compact device that can be used even in areas of difficult access in the patient and facilitates the work of medical staff. - Easy-to-use device. - Its principal application field is in oncology.
