Crystal Probe Automatic

INTRODUCTION

The gamma probe system Crystal Probe - automatic - is perfectly suited to seek radioactive labeled sentinel lymph nodes (SLN), other local nuclide enrichments in tissue and boundaries of labeled primary tumors (ROLL). It´s setting standards in

versatility
reliability
user-friendliness
