AIIMS Delhi has recently introduced, a fluorescence imaging technology for easy identification of cancer-affected tissues in breast.
Before this technology, surgeons use to inject a safe and affordable indocyanine green (ICG) dye in patients. But now, with Fluorescence Imaging technology, surgeons can view blood flow in vessels, micro-vessels, tissue perfusion and critical anatomical structures intraoperatively.
This technology uses near-infrared fluorescence imaging during cancer surgery that allows real time, clinically significant and actionable information to improve quality of care, outcomes and safety of patients.
