Project description

General objective: The objective is to develop a specialized intraoperative PET / CT scanner to determine the positive edges of the excised tumor specimen. The system will allow to remove sufficient tumor mass in a single lumpectomy (surgery), which finally will lead to lower costs, reduced stress (associated with additional operations) and improving the cosmetic result of this operation.
