  abstract = {Since the 1920s, functional imaging has continuously contributed with
	novel methods in medical diagnostics. Its usage in the operation
	room has been limited in the past, although there is a great potential
	for localization of target structures and control of the surgery
	outcome. One example of functional information in the operation room
	is the use of nuclear probes. These devices are radiation detectors
	that provide a 1D signal that allows the surgeons to get information
	about the distribution of a radioactive labeled structure. We extended
	nuclear probes with a spatial localization system in order to generate
	functional 3D surface images or functional tomographic images in
	the operating room. In this paper we summarize our methodology, discuss
	currents limitations and possible remedies, and provide an outlook
	towards a new generation of image guided surgery based on anatomical
	and functional intraoperative imaging.}
