Abstract:Iatrogenic nerve injury is an important cause of surgical complications. We focused on improving intraoperative visualization of nerves through highly fluorescent polymer dots (Pdots) and in vivo optical imaging instrumentation. The prepared Pdots have good biocompatibility, fluorescence stability, and simple preparation. Peripheral nerves can be imaged quickly with Pdots through a simple direct administration method and process, low non‐specific absorption in the surrounding tissues. Moreover, the Pdots does … Show more
