What is a NIR endoscopy system?
A NIR endoscopy system uses near-infrared fluorescence imaging to visualize anatomical structures, tissue perfusion, and potential leaks in real time. It improves surgical precision and supports informed intraoperative decisions.
What is NIR imaging used for in surgery?
NIR imaging is used to assess tissue perfusion, identify lymph nodes, visualize bile ducts, and visualize vascular integrity in both open and minimally invasive procedures.
What role does indocyanine green (ICG) play?
ICG is a fluorescent dye that is administered intravenously. When excited by NIR light, it emits fluorescence that is displayed by the system in real time. This enables the visualization of blood flow, perfusion, and anatomical structures.
What components are part of a NIR endoscopy system?
A complete system includes:
- NIR-enabled camera (AlphaSMART Cam+)
- NIR-enabled camera head (AlphaSMART camera head 4K, NIR)
- Light source (AlphaSMART Light+)
- NIR-compatible endoscopes (AlphaScope laparoscope, NIR)
- NIR-compatible light guide cables
- Monitor with real-time imaging (EIZO 32″ 4K monitor, Gimmi® version)
What advantages does NIR technology offer over conventional endoscopy?
- Real-time fluorescence imaging
- Better visualization of perfusion and structures
- Greater diagnostic certainty
- Reduced risk of iatrogenic injuries
- Improved decision-making during surgery
In which medical fields is NIR used?
- Vascular surgery
- Gastrointestinal surgery (e.g., colorectal surgery)
- Gynecology (e.g., endometrial cancer)
- Minimally invasive surgery (e.g., laparoscopy, robotics)
- And many more…
