What is NIR FluoEye?

Near-infrared fluorescence imaging is an optical technique that utilizes fluorescent probes to visualize complex biomolecular assemblies in tissues which is carried out by using exogenous contrast agent. It is a tool for enhancing visualization of vasculature and other biological structures during surgical procedures.

By visualizing the lymph vessels during surgery, the surgeon can perform surgical procedures while monitoring the position of lymph vessels being excised, for example, on a monitor screen. This is especially useful for identifying the position of sentinel lymph nodes, which are important for diagnosing the metastasis status of cancer cells during surgery.


How does the NIR FluoEye work?

The near-infrared fluorescence imaging system irradiates near-infrared excitation light on an ICG (indocyanine green) contrast medium injected into the blood vessels, lymph ducts, or other areas. The system allows the observation of the blood flow and lymph flow under the tissue surface by imaging the near-infrared fluorescence. This method enables the simple and real time identification of lymphatic vessels and the confirmation of blood flow during surgery.


Intended use

It is used to observe invisible near-infrared images, which makes it possible to observe the epidemic area or distribution of fluorescence reagent inside the tissue.
