Abstract
A system for describing the physical distribution of an agent that accumulates selectively in tissue of a patient in an excised surgical specimen. The system comprises an agent which selectively concentrates in a cancer or precancer or focus of infection or other pathological condition. The system comprises a detector sensitive to the agent which is present in the surgical specimen. The system also comprises an apparatus capable of forming an image based on the information gathered by the detector, and which image describes the physical distribution of the agent in the surgical specimen so that a surgeon can be guided by the image provided by the apparatus, said apparatus connected to said detector.
