Multispectral Fluorescence Imaging as a Tool to Distinguish Pelvic Lymphatic Drainage Patterns During Robot-assisted Lymph Node Dissection in Prostate Cancer
Multispectral imaging can be used to distinguish lymphatic drainage patterns. Our in vivo findings indicate that within the ePLND-template, lymphatic drainage patterns of the prostate at least partly overlap with those of upper leg and abdominal wall. The properties of fluorescein render it unsuitable for confirmation of fluorescence at histopathology.
