Fluorescent Probe Imaging for Aortic Aneurysms

Description

Near-infrared fluorescence imaging uses fluorescent probes to visualize biomolecular structures inside tissues. It is a useful optical method for studying disease in living systems. The technique can show specific targets without the limits of some conventional imaging methods.

Compared with sing...

Transcript

Near-infrared fluorescence imaging is an optical technique that utilizes fluorescent probes to visualize complex biomolecular assemblies in tissues. This noninvasive imaging technique, which is also known as NIRF, is rapid and does not require ionizing radiation.

In NIRF, fluorescent probes can be conjugated with small molecules for high...
