Fluorescence guided surgery (FGS) is an imaging technique that allows the surgeon to
visualise different structures and types of tissue during a surgical procedure that may not be …

Background Despite significant improvements in preoperative workup and surgical
planning, surgeons often rely on their eyes and hands during surgery. Although this can be …

Surgical success depends on the accuracy with which disease and vital tissue can be
intraoperatively detected. However, the dominant visualization approach, ie, human vision …

Although the modern surgical era is highlighted by multiple technological advances and
