Progress of research on Cerenkov luminescence imaging in intraoperative navigation / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

ABSTRACT

Surgical removal of tumor and metastatic lymph nodes are important for the prognosis of patients.Optical intraoperative navigation can achieve real-time tumor location and border recognition,providing an effective way to guide tumor removal and achieve intraoperative navigation precisely.Cerenkov luminescence imaging(CLI)as a nuclide optical imaging method,which combines the advantages of optical imaging and radionuclides,has opened up a new way of navigation in optical surgery.This article reviews the progress of CLI in intraoperative navigation.
