Radio-guided Neurosurgery for treatment of Brain cancer

... isotope called technetium-99m, which cruises on a molecule called Sestemabi, in the patient. The isotope then latches onto the cancerous tissue in the brain, making it glow like a light in the darkness. By using the glow caused by the gamma probe the brain tumor is detected and removed effectively. Radiois...
