“…Cancer causes nearly 10 million deaths globally on an annual basis (1) and imposes a huge economic burden on society (2,3). The treatment of cancer is often difficult, and current methods include surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, interventional therapy, and local ablation (4)(5)(6). While surgical resection is considered the most common and effective method, there are also many difficulties in surgery, including the precise positioning of tumor tissue in the preoperative detection process and the precise resection of tumor mass in the surgical process.…”

Background: Surgical operation plays an important role in the treatment of cancer. The success of the operation lies in the complete removal of the primary and disseminated tumor tissue while preserving the normal tissue. The development of optical molecular image navigation technology has provided a new option for intraoperative tumor visualization. In this study, a fluorescence imaging navigation system was used to detect the diameter of mice tumors and provide experimental evidence for the further development of digital diagnosis and treatment equipment. Methods:The minimum detection concentration in vitro of the fluorescence imaging navigation system for indocyanine green (ICG) was first detected, then 120 female Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice and 120 female BALB/c nude mice were randomly divided into three groups by weight, high-dose (H, 4 mg/kg), middle-dose (M, 2 mg/kg), and low-dose (L, 1 mg/kg) groups of ICG solution. After inoculating solid tumors, high, medium, and low doses of ICG were injected via the tail vein, and the tumor diameter was measured by a fluorescence imaging navigation system and vernier caliper within 24 hours of injection. Results:The minimum detectable diameter of the system could reach 0.2 mm compared with the vernier caliper, and the actual measurement error was within 0.2 mm. Conclusions:A fluorescence imaging navigation system has high accuracy and sensitivity in the application of tumor detection, which may assist the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
