Figure 1:. Intraoperative Molecular Imaging has wide range applicability to the surgical oncologist:
(A) CT Chest demonstrating Left Upper Lobe NSCLC. (B) Brightfield and (C) near infrared (NIR) images of Left Upper Lung NSCLC nodule in subject receiving the folate targeted tracer, OTL0038. (D) CT head revealing left hemispheric NSCLC metastasis. (E) Brightfield and (F) fluorescent image of subject receiving the non-specific NIR tracer, indocyanine green (ICG). (G) Pelvic MRI demonstrating concerning left iliac lymph node enlargement in patient with history of prostatic cancer. (H) Brightfield and (I) fluorescent images of iliac lymph node harboring metastatic prostate cancer located during robotic surgery. Subject received ICG prior to resection. (J) CT Chest visualizing mediastinal mass anterior to ascending aorta. (K) Brightfield and (L) NIR images of thymoma at time of transcervical resection. Subject received ICG prior to thymectomy. (M) CT abdomen localizing pancreatic adenocarcinoma in pancreatic head (N) Brightfield and (O) NIR image of Whipple specimen in subject receiving ICG prior to resection. Red arrowhead points to tumor in axial imaging.
