Intraoperative tumour margin fluorescence imaging system probe
Definition
An electronic component of an intraoperative tumour margin fluorescence imaging system designed for the excitation of an injected fluorophore (e.g., pegulicianine), and subsequent imaging of the illuminated area, to allow for intraoperative detection of residual cancerous tissue in the resection cavity following removal of the primary specimen during surgical procedure (e.g., lumpectomy). It includes a handpiece with an optical component including a digital camera which is inserted into the cavity for image capture, and a cable which includes a connection to the computerised system and a fibre optic light guide. This is a reusable device.
