With a solid scientific and clinical base and unique, fresh technology, Sentinella is today a revolutionary clinical option, a comprehensive tool for real-time intraoperative or office-based diagnosis of an increasing variety of malignant tumours and other serious diseases, enabling cancer surgery to be “made to order”, fully adapted to each patient, just as every patient deserves. To meet this challenge, Sentinella integrates not only an exclusive high resolution gamma camera, but all the technology (pointers, probes, software, ergonomic arm, screens...) that help the effective detection of cancer in real time. "New Eyes" and new tools helping every patient everywhere.
Beyond gamma probes
Molecular Vision, which helps surgeons and nuclear physicians to detect tumours and nodes safely and reliably, without extending the time of surgery, is a potentially revolutionary contribution, which, however, has not been implemented in clinical practice. Slow, with low resolution, sensitivity and reliability, often heavy, complex and difficult to use, existing gamma cameras do not respond, by themselves, to the challenges of today's cancer surgery.
The best and most cost-effective clinical solution is an integrated equipment, with ALL the options for effective localization of tumours and nodes, specially in complex or deep lesion cases, integrating vision through its unique gamma camera with gamma probes, diagnostic support software and multiple other accessories.
Sentinella has been used successfully in over 4,000 patients worldwide, in 14 countries, vs twenty+ different types of malignancies. Successfully used both in centres of maximum global prestige and in those just starting radio-guided surgery. Sentinella has extensive, strong and growing evidence presented at conferences and publications of the highest level. Sentinella is the New Standard and a New Hope in oncologic surgery.
Gamma probes have made a major contribution to the early development of R-guided SURGERY, but have many technical and clinical limitations which that have restricted its use to relatively few experts, nuclear physicians and surgeons from different specialties, in a very small percentage of hospitals and types of malignancies. Blue ink of different types is still routinely used by many specialists, who always appreciated the need to SEE where the tumour is expanding. Radioguided surgery with probes has not been able to help the vast majority of patients who should benefit from it. Sentinella, which incorporates also a gamma probe, overcomes these limitations, optimizing synergy gamma camera / probe/ pointers / software.
Beyond gamma cameras, a new standard; the integrated suite for cancer diagnostics.
