Abstract:The ability to precisely label and visualize tumors in tissues can improve the accuracy of surgical resections compared to standard of care, which relies on visual inspection and palpation. While fluorescence intensity-based imaging is being evaluated for surgical guidance, variable tumor uptake and incomplete clearance of fluorescent probes reduces tumor vs. normal classification accuracy. Here we demonstrate that the fluorescence lifetime (FLT) of multiple types of solid tumors is longer than the FLT of heal… Show more
