Arrangement with a medical gamma detector, optical module and kit
The invention relates to an arrangement with a medical gamma probe and an optical module arranged on the medical gamma probe, said optical module having a light source which emits light rays during operation and is configured to generate an optical pointer in a detection region of the medial gamma probe using the light rays from the light source.
1. An arrangement comprising:
a medical gamma probe;
an optical module arranged on the medical gamma probe, wherein the optical module comprises a light source which emits light rays during operation, and generates an optical pointer in a detection region of the medical gamma probe using the light rays from the light source; and
a light source control device which modulates a light intensity of the light rays emitted by the light source according to an activity detected by the medical gamma probe.
2. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the optical module is detachably mounted on the medical gamma probe.
3. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the optical module is integrated in a housing of the medical gamma probe.
4. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is arranged in a central region of a collimator.
5. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the optical module is constructed in an additional collimator placed on the medical gamma probe.
6. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the optical module comprises one or more optical elements which conduct and, optionally, alter the light rays.
7. The arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the one or more optical elements guide the light rays substantially collinearly with the longitudinal axis of a gamma probe tip of the medical gamma probe.
8. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the light source comprises one or more light emitting diodes or one or more laser diodes.
9. An optical module for a medical gamma probe comprising:
a light source which emits light rays in operation; and
a light source control device which modulates a light intensit of the light rays emitted by the light source according to an activity detected by a medical gamma probe, wherein the optical module is detection-side mountable on the medical gamma probe such that an optical pointer is provided in a detection region of the medical gamma probe using the light rays from the light source.
10. A construction kit comprising:
a medical gamma probe;
an optical module that is detection-side mountable on the medical gamma probe, wherein the optical module comprises a light source which emits light rays in operation, provides an optical pointer in a detection region of the medical gamma probe using the light rays from the light source; and
a light source control device which modulates a light intensity of the light rays emitted by the light source according to an activity detected by the medical gamma probe.
