Dual mode marker and tracer detection system

Abstract Dual mode marker and tracer detection system A non-imaging detection system for locating markers or tracers in the body having a common base unit (1) and at least two detection probes, a first detection probe (4) uses a first non-imaging detection technology to detect an implantable marker (8) for lesion localisation and a second detection probe (3) uses a second different, non imaging detection technology to detect an implantable tracer (9) for lymph node detection, wherein the base unit is capable of receiving detection signals and providing detection information to a user from both probes.
