Research Abstract |
We found that Auto-fluorescence Imaging (AFI) is particularly useful for detection of superficial tumors. Especially in laparoscopic surgery, this technique enabled to visualize tumors well in cirrhotic liver with rough surface without drug administration nor manipulation. In addition, it was demonstrated in an animal model that fluorescein sodium injected into hepato-biliary-pancreatic vessels could provide strong fluorescence with AFI. This indicates that AFI can help recognizing anatomical location of vessels during laparoscopic surgery.
