  abstract = {In minimally invasive tumor resection, the desirable goal is to perform
	a minimal but complete removal of cancerous cells. In the last decades
	interventional nuclear medicine probes supported the detection of
	remaining tumor cells.
	
	However, scanning the patient with an intraoperative probe and applying
	the treatment are not done simultaneously. The main contribution
	of this work is to extend the one dimensional signal of a beta-probe
	to a four dimensional signal including the spatial information of
	the distal end of the probe. We generate a color encoded surface
	map of the scanned activity and guide any tracked surgical instrument
	back to the regions with measured activity. For navigation, we implement
	an augmented reality visualization that superimposes the acquired
	surface on a visual image of the real anatomy. Alternatively, a simulated
	beta-probe count rate in the tip of a tracked therapeutic instrument
	is simulated showing the count number and coding it as an acoustic
	signal. Preliminary tests were performed showing the feasibility
	of the new designed system and the viability of such a three dimensional
	intraoperative molecular imaging modality.},
