Klinikum rechts der Isar installed a reference center for navigated radio-guided surgery based on SurgicEye's declipseSPECT. The system is used for navigated resection of sentinel lymph nodes in breast cancer and melanoma.

In the past decade radio-guided sentinel lymph node extraction has been established as a standard procedure in breast and melanoma surgery and has been implemented in many national treatment guidelines. Klinikum rechts der Isar’s surgery department uses SurgicEye’s new three dimensional imaging and navigation technique for guided resection. "The usage of this technology is a quality improvement for the extraction of malign tissue. Starting from navigated extraction of sentinel lymph nodes in melanoma patients, SurgicEye’s 3D technology opens new techniques for many tumor surgery applications for safe and minimally invasive patient treatment", Dr. Marc Martignoni from the surgery department, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany. 3D imaging and navigation technologies are developed by SurgicEye, a spin-off from TUM, Munich.
