Figure 7. Longitudinal tracking of internal lesions with SWIR imaging.
SWIR fluorescence images were taken each week for animals treated with both ReANC (A) and fReANC (B). Tumor burden was determined each week through MRI and compared to SWIR signal. Mean and minimum volume (C) of tumors detectable via SWIR imaging was calculated to determine the smallest tumors capable of resolution using the InGaAs camera. Treatment with fReANCs enabled detection of tumors on average 2.25 times smaller than those detected using ReANCs. (n=6)
