Article Synopsis
- This study introduces implantable, biodegradable fiducial markers (FMs) designed for enhanced imaging using near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) and X-ray techniques, composed of a radiopaque core and fluorescent shell made of poly(l-lactide--caprolactone).
- The research evaluated the properties of these FMs using approved contrast agents, demonstrating effective contrasting capabilities in imaging and revealing that hydroxyapatite (HAp) improved initial radiopacity while slightly affecting stability in certain formulations.
- Tissue responses around the FMs indicated that they did not cause significant adverse effects, suggesting they are suitable for use in NIRF-guided tumor surgeries and X-ray-guided radi
