Article Abstract
Since its origins, nuclear medicine has faced technological changes that led to modifying operating modes and adapting protocols. In the field of radioguided surgery, the incorporation of preoperative scintigraphic imaging and intraoperative detection with the gamma probe provided a definitive boost to sentinel lymph node biopsy to become a standard procedure for melanoma and breast cancer. The various technological innovations and consequent adaptation of protocols come together in the coexistence of the disruptive and the gradual. As obvious examples we have the introduction of SPECT/CT in the preoperative field and Drop-in probes in the intraoperative field. Other innovative aspects with possible application in radio-guided surgery are based on the application of artificial intelligence, navigation and telecare.

Added Value of SPECT/CT in Radio-Guided Occult Localization (ROLL) of Non-Palpable Pulmonary Nodules Treated with Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy.

The extensive use of computed tomography (CT) has led to a significant increase in the detection of small and non-palpable pulmonary nodules, necessitating the use of invasive methods for definitive diagnosis. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become the preferred procedure for nodule resections; however, intraoperative localization remains challenging, especially for deep or subsolid lesions. This study explores whether SPECT/CT improves the technical and clinical outcomes of radio-guided occult lesion localization (ROLL) before uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (u-VATS).

Background: The examination of lymphogenic metastasis is the basis for the treatment of tumors. It primarily targets the sentinel lymph nodes (SLN). Common imaging techniques to identify SLNs expose patients to high doses of radiation.

Background: Selection of suitable candidates for intraoperative tumour detection and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is important for improving outcomes for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases. Previous research demonstrated the use of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), intraoperative radiodetection, and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF)-guided surgery with a dual-labelled 111In-labelled dodecane tetra-acetic acid (DOTA)-labetuzumab-IRDye800CW tracer to detect peritoneal metastases before operation. The aim of this study was to validate these results.

Purpose: Nodal staging in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or very high risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (vhNMIBC) aids to predict survival. The sentinel node (SN) procedure holds the promise to identify the diagnostically relevant first tumor-draining nodes while limiting the complication rate associate with a pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND), still considered the gold standard of nodal staging. Following an initial technical feasibility study, we prospectively evaluated the clinical impact of using peri-tumoral injections with the hybrid tracer indocyanine green (ICG)-Tc-nanocolloid for SN procedures in bladder cancer.

Background: Meningiomas are the most common primary intracranial neoplasms. Gross-total resection, the primary treatment goal, is not achieved in up to 50% of patients, affecting progression-free and overall survival. The traditionally used intraoperative assessment of resection extent using the Simpson grade has recently been shown to be less accurate than postoperative MRI.
