Figure 4.
Intraoperative Pancreas Imaging in Pigs: a) 164 µmol of MB and 2.5 µmol of T700-F were injected intravenously into 35 kg Yorkshire pigs, and images were recorded over the course of 60 min (n = 3). Abbreviations used are: Du, duodenum; Ki, kidney; Li, liver; LN, lymph node; Pa, pancreas. All NIR fluorescence images have identical exposure times and normalizations. b) SBR (mean ± SD) comparison between MB and T700-F: SBR (Pa/Mu) was measured at different time points. ***P < 0.001. Statistical analysis between MB and T700-F was performed using unpaired t test. c) Quantitative time-course assessment of SBR (mean ± SD) for pancreas and surrounding organs/tissues were measured after 2.5 µmol of T700-F injection over the course of 8 h (n = 3). Abbreviations used are: Pa/Mu, pancreas-to-muscle ratio; Pa/Sp, pancreas-to-spleen ratio; Pa/LN, pancreas-to-lymph node ratio; Pa/Ki, pancreas-to-kidney ratio. Scale bars = 1 cm. All NIR fluorescence images have identical exposure times and normalizations.
