SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF ZINC IMAGING FOR MARGIN ASSESSMENT DURING BREAST CONSERVING SURGERY

Title:

SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF ZINC IMAGING FOR MARGIN ASSESSMENT DURING BREAST CONSERVING SURGERY

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/212745

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Methods of detecting and measuring positron emission for tumor margin assessment are described. The preferential uptake of radiotracers by certain tumor types provides a measurable parameter for distinguishing between healthy and cancerous tissue to enhance tumor margin determination. The methods provide more accurate margin delineation and reduced tissue resection size relative to conventional breast conserving surgery techniques.
