  6. 5. Experimental set-up for near infrared fluorescence measurements during surgery

    University essay from Biomedicinsk instrumentteknik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Pascal Behm; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In case a tumour grows in a tissue close to the lymphatic system, biopsies of the first draining lymph nodes connected to the tumour, also known as sentinel lymph nodes, allow determining if the cancer has already metastasized. Lymph node mapping is used in oncology surgery to find the patients lymph nodes connected to the tumour. READ MORE
