[New help from nuclear medicine to surgery].
New Nuclear Medicine techniques to help the surgeon in the operation room are now being introduced. They aim to get a better location of the objective or a shorter duration of the surgical process. The selective radioguided biopsy of the sentinel node included in the clinical practise guidelines for the surgery of tumours as breast cancer and malignant melanoma is the paradigm of this new techniques. Other techniques are intraoperatory detection with probes or portable gammacameras of tumour lesions as parathyroid adenomas, metastatic neuroendocrine tumours and other tumours.
