摘要

In laparotomy surgery guided by near-infrared fluorescence imaging, the access to the field of operation is limited by the illumination and/or the imaging field. The side of cavities or organs such as the liver or the heart cannot be examined with the systems available on the market, which are too large and too heavy. In this article, we describe and evaluate a palm sized probe, whose properties, weight, size and sensitivity are adapted for guiding laparotomy surgery. Different experiments have been performed to determine its main characteristics, both on the illumination and imaging sides. The device has been tested for fluorescent molecular probe imaging in preclinical procedures, to prove its ability to be used in cancer nodule detection during surgery. This system is now CE certified for clinical procedures and Indocyanine Green imaging has been performed during clinical investigations: lymphedema and surgical resection of liver metastases of colorectal cancers.
