Accurate lesion localization is critical for cancer diagnosis and
treatment planning. Conventional imaging techniques often struggle to
distinguish highly metabolic or heterogeneous tumor regions. This study
highlights the Compton camera as an innovative real-time biopsy guidance
tool. This technology provides high quantitative sensitivity and 3D
imaging without heavy mechanical collimation. Initial  clinical
applications include: Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer. Compact,
clinical-grade Compton cameras represent a pivotal advancement in
precision medicine, significantly improving biopsy accuracy, sample
representativeness, and patient outcomes while minimizing repeat
procedures.
