Abstract
In this work, we compare the accuracy of radiological axial imaging-guided surgical navigation (computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR)) with and without the use of subsurface fluorescence guidance. We tested this by utilizing a validated tissue-simulating phantom model of various tissue types with a randomly placed tumor inclusion and then dissecting the phantoms using different combinations of navigation modalities. Results demonstrated that fluorescence guidance improves the accuracy of radiological imaging-guided surgery with significant improvements in margin consistency and tumor inclusion alignment.
