Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of detecting a brain tumor includes administering indocyanine green to a living body; exposing brain tissue in the living body; irradiating the exposed brain tissue with excitation light of indocyanine green; obtaining an image based on fluorescence of the excited indocyanine green in the brain tissue, wherein the image is obtained using an endomicroscope; and identifying portions of the brain tissue corresponding to the brain tumor based on the image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A microscopy system, comprising: a surgical microscope having a first field of view configured to acquire images of a sample within the first field of view when the sample is exposed to infrared radiation; a confocal endomicroscope having a second field of view configured to acquire images of the sample within the second field of view; a navigation sub-system configured to monitor a location of the second microscope; and a display sub-system in communi…
