Abstract
Radioguided surgery has slowly gained acceptance since the first gamma probe directed sentinel node lymph node biopsy in a patient with melanoma in 1993. We describe how the intraoperative gamma probe is used to localize a rib with abnormal uptake on the bone scan in a patient with rib pain.
