Intraoperative Pancreas Imaging in SD Rats: a) 1.2 µmol of MB and 100 nmol of T700-F were injected intravenously 15 min and 4 h prior to imaging, respectively (n = 3). Abbreviations used are: Bl, bladder; Du, duodenum; In, intestine; Ki, kidney; Li, liver; Pa, pancreas; Sp, spleen. Arrows indicate pancreas and arrowheads indicate autofluorescence of food in lumen of intestine. Scale bars = 1 cm. All NIR fluorescence images have identical exposure times and normalizations. b) Histological analysis: Consecutive sections from rat pancreas stained with H&E or unstained were observed using an NIR fluorescence microscope. Abbreviations used are: Ac, acinus; IL, islets of Langerhans; PD, pancreatic duct. Scale bars = 300 µm. All NIR fluorescence images for each condition have identical exposure times and normalizations.
