Fig. 37.1 The Fluostick™, optical head and control box We have seen previously that, in order to reach an accurate fluorescence performance, the whole optical acquisition chain must be optimized…
Fig. 11.1 Fluobeam® medical device; central processing unit and the camera head Fluobeam® Medical Device The Fluobeam® medical device allows visualizing, on a computer screen, the flow, the distribution and/or…
Fig. 36.1 Structures of glutaryl phenylalanine hydroxylmethyl rhodamine green (gPhe-HMRG). The gPhe-HMRG probe is activated with chymotrypsin secreted in pancreatic juice and emits HMRG fluorescence Figure 36.2 shows the trends…
Fig. 26.1 Schematic image of sentinel lymph node (SLN) concept. SLN has direct flow from the tumor and the first metastasis via lymph channel should occur from here. If SLN…
Fig. 33.1 Heart exposure and ligation of second diagonal artery We hypothesize that fluorescein will provide a detailed anatomic demarcation of the ischemic myocardium and help us document tissue recovery…
