Intraoperative Imaging-Guided Cancer Surgery: From Current Fluorescence Molecular Imaging Methods to Future Multi-Modality Imaging Technology

Cancer is a major threat to human health. Diagnosis and treatment using precision medicine is expected to be an effective method for preventing the initiation and progression of cancer. Although anatomical and functional imaging techniques such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) have played an important role for accu...

Current and Future Intraoperative Imaging Strategies to Increase Radical Resection Rates in Pancreatic Cancer Surgery

Prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is poor. Even the small minority that undergoes resection with curative intent has low 5-year survival rates. This may partly be explained by the high number of irradical resections, which results in local recurrence and impaired overall survival. Currently, ultrasonography is used during surgery for resectability assessment and frozen-section analys...

Molecular-genetic imaging: current and future perspectives.

Intraoperative fluorescence imaging during surgery for coronary artery fistula.

A 45-year-old man had a history of myocardial infarction at one month prior to admission. Coronary angiography revealed a dilated fistula originating from the left anterior descending coronary artery to the pulmonary artery. Two orifices of the draining artery were closed through pulmonary arteriotomy. Ligation of the fistulous vessels was performed at three places to ensure complete closure of...
