The
amplifier unit of the Gamma Probe PC is now
an integral part to a powerful tablet PC which
is much lighter and smaller. The touch screen
of the unit provides easy access to all the
functions that the amplifier unit comes with.
The tablet PC has no hard disk or any other
moving parts making it a rigid unit suitable
for easy and safe transportation.
With the computer power provide by the tablet
PC, we have also developed a knowledge base
artificial intelligence into the system to provide
surgeons with valuable information such as:
• if similar cases have been performed previously
and what results have been achieved
• minimal time of surgery after injection of
radio-isotope
• map of human body for recording the location
of the nodes found
• other statistical information that led to
percentage of nodes found such as age, damaged
of lymphatic system, whether biopsy has been
done prior to surgery, nodes too small, body
temperature, blood pressure, activity and colloid.

More
than 100 cases are provided in the database
and the unit continuously learns from every
surgical procedures helping surgeons to locate
the nodes with ease. We have designed the new
unit with all the advantages and facilities
of the current model plus more, enabled by incorporating
a computer as the main unit, including:
• bright and large display with ease to read
• storage of patient data
• provision to connect to hospital information
management system to exchange data such as patient
medical history, surgical information, surgery
results, radioisotope injection record, etc
• optional wireless voice recognition and audio
package
• optional gamma imaging probe for on-line lymphoscintigraphy
can be operated simultaneously when the gamma
probe is in operation for intra-cavity procedures.
