About
Patrick Sandach is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of nuclear medicine, surgical oncology, and radiation safety. His primary research focus is on the clinical translation and safety assessment of novel intraoperative imaging techniques, particularly Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging (CLI) for cancer surgery. Sandach’s major contribution lies in pioneering the practical implementation of CLI during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), demonstrating its promise for real-time detection of surgical margins. His most cited work, "Radiation Protection and Occupational Exposure on 68Ga-PSMA-11–Based Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging Procedures in Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy" (2021), is a foundational study that rigorously quantifies the radiation safety profile of this emerging technology. By providing the first detailed dosimetry data for surgeons and operating room staff, this paper (with 8 citations) was instrumental in validating CLI as a safe, viable intraoperative tool, addressing a key barrier to its clinical adoption. This achievement highlights Sandach’s role in bridging the gap between cutting-edge imaging science and practical, safe surgical application, making his work essential reading for researchers in radioguided surgery and radiation protection.
