Gamma probe
A gamma probe
Purposelocate sentinel lymph nodes

A gamma probe is a handheld device containing a scintillation counter for intraoperative use following injection of a radionuclide to locate sentinel lymph nodes by their radioactivity.[1] It is used primarily for sentinel lymph node mapping and parathyroid surgery. Gamma probes are also used for RSL (radioactive seed localization) to locate small and non-palpable breast lesions.[2][3]: 243
