Abstract: It would be advantageous with the close quarters in breast procedure rooms to create a Gamma Probe system incorporating multi modalities, sensitivities, and multiple ranges for utilization in breast intervention procedures for the diagnosis and verification for breast cancer. Systems for specimen radiography assist radiologists and surgeons in the detection and classification of abnormal lesions in medical images gleaned from breast biopsies/lumpectomies and a Gamma Probe system with a sensor to detect radioactive, metallic/magnet, or RFID waves to help locate a lump or abnormality which were placed by an Interventional Radiologist. Radio guided surgery (RGS) uses gamma probes to localize radioactive targets. The three common RGS radioisotopes: technetium-99m (99mTc), indium-111 (111In), and iodine-125 (125I). The aspects of the disclosed embodiments pertain to a gamma probe that is able to simultaneously detect 2-3 isotopes automatically without actuating a physical switch.

Abstract: A cabinet x-ray system incorporates a voice command module and a gamma probe system for obtaining x-ray images and gamma probe measurements of a specimen. The system includes a cabinet; a display; and a microphone connected to the base unit. The x-ray system includes an x-ray source and detector; a specimen platform; and a controller to collect a projection x-ray image of the specimen when the x-ray source is energized and display the x-ray image on the display. The gamma probe system includes a gamma probe to receive signals from external sources and transmit signals corresponding to the signals received to the gamma probe base unit; and a gamma probe base unit in communication with the gamma probe and including a processor. The processor receives signals from the gamma probe and presents a visual numerical readout on the displays and generates a sound output.
