The principle of fluorescence imaging. The absorption and emission spectra of the commercial ICG and IfCG products in several solvents and concentrations are compared in [82]. What is again interesting and encouraging for angiography applications is that ICG in blood plasma was found to decompose so that only a small amount of decomposition products were recorded when compared to ICG in water. 110, no. Reekers et al. 5, pp. 45, no. In time domain OCT the path length of the reference arm is varied in time (the reference mirror is translated longitudinally). Many different reconstruction algorithms exist. By accommodation of a frequency scanning light source (i.e. Mizuno and Isaji have used ICG-injected intrabiliary for donor liver bile duct imaging [222]. technique in clinical setting are reviewed. have used ICG for monitoring of perineal wound contamination in abdominoperineal resection [251].

[3][4][5] Commercially available optical coherence tomography systems are employed in diverse applications, including art conservation and diagnostic medicine, notably in ophthalmology and optometry where it can be used to obtain detailed images from within the retina. In a clinical setting, ICG is a new and unique method in imaging of the lymphatic circulatory system and thus offers both challenges and the potential for totally new clinical applications [27]. 5860, 2005. Based in Toronto, Canada and Dallas, Texas, Perimeter Medical Imaging AI (TSX-V: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) (FSE: 4PC) is a medical technology company driven to transform cancer surgery with ultra-high-resolution, real-time, advanced imaging tools to address areas of high unmet medical need. Levosimendan did not have a significant effect on total splanchnic perfusion in patients undergoing an elective aortic aneurysm operation [147]. 30823105, 2008. The performance of the optics is often expressed as the so called -number. ideal for angiography: binds efficiently to blood lipoproteins, that is, it does not leak from circulation. For example, because MRI has only been in use since the early 1980s, there are no known long-term effects of exposure to strong static fields (this is the subject of some debate; see 'Safety' in MRI) and therefore there is no limit to the number of scans to which an individual can be subjected, in contrast with X-ray and CT. This means that both cameras see exactly the same field of view (FOV), and no registration is needed, provided that the cameras have identical optics and are located correctly with respect to each other. 14721481, 2010. Incomplete obliteration of a rupture-prone aneurysm or AVM may result in a hemorrhage, and occlusion of a parent vessel or an anastomosis in an ischemic stroke; both of which may have catastrophic consequences for the patient. In principle, for example, after having been used to reveal lymph nodes a strong illumination with NIR light could be used to destroy metastatic nodes. [30], In frequency domain OCT (FD-OCT) the broadband interference is acquired with spectrally separated detectors. Forward-looking information is based on information available at the time and/or managements good-faith belief with respect to future events and are subject to known or unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond Perimeters control. As we have seen, only a small fraction of the initial light intensity induces fluorescence which finally will reach the image plane. 3, pp. American Society of Anesthesiology Patient Classification Status, Fluorescence Life-time imaging microscopy, Laparoscopic intragastric full-thickness excision, Molecular Imaging and Contrast Agent Database, Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery.

The KAI-11002 (Kodak, New York, USA) is a typical Charge Coupled Device (CCD) sensor. National Library of Medicine maintains a database of contrast agents called MICAD [28]. Thus OCT can build up clear 3D images of thick samples by rejecting background signal while collecting light directly reflected from surfaces of interest. 5, p. e2, 2006. Typical vascular anomalies to be treated surgically are cerebral aneurysms and intracranial or intraspinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and fistulas. 2, pp. T. Fischer, B. Ebert, J. Voigt et al., Detection of rheumatoid arthritis using non-specific contrast enhanced fluorescence imaging, Academic Radiology, vol. OCT has attracted interest among the medical community because it provides tissue morphology imagery at much higher resolution (less than 10 m axially and less than 20 m laterally[27] ) than other imaging modalities such as MRI or ultrasound. The use of a beamsplitter is a particularly simple and practical way of solving the otherwise challenging image registration problem and allows an illustrative blending of the colour image and the ICGA to be easily done online, which is often vital for critical intraoperational use (Table 4). 132, no. Elastography is a relatively new imaging modality that maps the elastic properties of soft tissue. In principle, coronary arteries are also ideal for ICGA because they are located, like brain arteries, on the organ they supply blood to. To render a 2D projection of the 3D data set, one first needs to define a camera in space relative to the volume. J. T. Alander, A review of indocyanine green contrast agent in In this technique called full-field OCT (FF-OCT), unlike other OCT techniques that acquire cross-sections of the sample, the images are here "en-face" i.e. Commercial interference filter pairs are also available for ICG fluorescence, separating the spectrum at about 800nm (Chroma Technology, Brattleboro, VT, USA) (see Figure 3).

It is also important to note that the laser output from the instruments used is low eye-safe near-infrared or visible-light[29] and no damage to the sample is therefore likely. Featured! Lasers may be used to treat nonrefractive conditions (e.g. 467469, 2008. MRI uses three electromagnetic fields: a very strong (typically 1.5 to 3 teslas) static magnetic field to polarize the hydrogen nuclei, called the primary field; gradient fields that can be modified to vary in space and time (on the order of 1kHz) for spatial encoding, often simply called gradients; and a spatially homogeneous radio-frequency (RF) field for manipulation of the hydrogen nuclei to produce measurable signals, collected through an RF antenna. 4, pp. The optimal exposure time can be determined, if the physical pixel area, , and the maximum number of electrons the pixel can hold, the quantum well depth, , are known. Direct volume rendering is a computationally intensive task that may be performed in several ways. In addition to the beamsplitter, suitable exchangeable filters embedded in the optics or in a separate filter cube, which is the usual arrangement in fluorescence microscopy, are used in front of the cameras to block unwanted wavelengths from entering the sensors [85]. 3, pp. [98] These can access and scan interiors of hard-to-reach spaces,[99] and are able to operate in hostile environmentswhether radioactive, cryogenic, or very hot. It is important for images acquired at different time points are displayed in a standardised format to maintain the reliability of the evaluation. 6, Article ID 066003, 2011. 5565, 2010. 1568-1585, 2014, doi: 10.1109/ACCESS.2014.2363949.

This function-based approach to medical evaluation has useful applications in most subspecialties, notably oncology, neurology, and cardiology. 2, no. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images. Those are briefly reviewed in what follows. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that uses low-coherence light to capture micrometer-resolution, two- and three-dimensional images from within optical scattering media (e.g., biological tissue). Medical ultrasound uses high frequency broadband sound waves in the megahertz range that are reflected by tissue to varying degrees to produce (up to 3D) images. On the other hand, healing of the amputation wound should be assessed before the procedure to avoid wound healing problems, infections, and reamputations. [20] Another approach for making the procedures more efficient is based on utilizing additional constraints, e.g., in some medical imaging modalities one can improve the efficiency of the data acquisition by taking into account the fact the reconstructed density is positive.[21][22].
