The Jagiellonian Positron Emission Tomograph (J-PET) represents the first modular and portable PET scanner capable of multi-photon detection. This multidisciplinary system serves dual purposes in medical imaging and fundamental physics research, including investigations of discrete symmetry violations in positronium decay processes [1,2,3]. Beyond conventional PET imaging capabilities, the...

The PANDORA (Plasmas for Astrophysics, Nuclear Decay Observation and Radiation for Archaeometry) project aims to establish a novel experimental facility at INFN-LNS (Catania) dedicated to interdisciplinary research on magnetically confined plasmas, with applications ranging from nuclear astrophysics to radiation sensor and detector testing.
The facility is designed to reproduce selected...

18. Sharpening the Surgeon’s Eye: A Reconfigurable Dual-Mode Gamma Probe Architecture Optimized for Radio-Guided Surgery

Muhammed Emin Bedir (Karamanoglu Mehmetbey University)

Abstract:
Introduction: Intraoperative gamma probes are essential for localizing radiolabeled tumors and sentinel lymph nodes. However, current fixed-geometry designs suffer from a static trade-off between sensitivity and spatial resolution: high sensitivity is required for rapid lesion detection, while high spatial resolution is critical for precise margin delineation. This work presents the...
