We have developed a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence goggle system based on the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor active pixel sensor imaging and see-through display technologies. The fluorescence goggle system is a compact wearable intraoperative fluorescence imaging and display system that can guide surgery in real time. The goggle is capable of detecting fluorescence of indocyanine green solution in the picomolar range. Aided by NIR quantum dots, we successfully used the fluorescence goggle to guide sentinel lymph node mapping in a rat model. We further demonstrated the feasibility of using the fluorescence goggle in guiding surgical resection of breast cancer metastases in the liver in conjunction with NIR fluorescent probes. These results illustrate the diverse potential use of the goggle system in surgical procedures.

Disparities in surgical outcomes often result from subjective decisions dictated by surgical training, experience, and available resources. To improve outcomes, surgeons have adopted advancements in robotics, endoscopy, and intra-operative imaging including fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS), which highlights tumors and anatomy in real-time. However, technical, economic, and logistic challenges hinder widespread adoption of FGS beyond high-resource centers.

The aim of this study is to estimate eye lens exposure dose when handling radiopharmaceuticals and interacting with patients receiving radiopharmaceuticals, and to verify the usefulness of X-ray protective goggles in mitigating such radiation exposure using phantoms. To evaluate radiation exposure during the handling of radiopharmaceuticals, we employed a fluorescent glass dosimeter to measure the radiation doses associated with Tc, I, I, In, and F at distances of 30 cm and 60 cm, followed by calculation of the 3 mm dose equivalent rate (3DER). We then estimated the dose reduction rates for various scenarios, including the use of syringe shields and X-ray protective goggles with lead equivalences of 0.

Significance: Holographic display technology is a promising area of research that can lead to significant advancements in cancer surgery. We present the benefits of combining bioinspired multispectral imaging technology with holographic goggles for fluorescence-guided cancer surgery. Through a series of experiments with 43D-printed phantoms, small animal models of cancer, and surgeries on canine patients with head and neck cancer, we showcase the advantages of this holistic approach.

Disparities in surgical outcomes often result from subjective than objective decisions dictated by surgical training, experience, and available resources. To improve outcomes, surgeons have adopted advancements in robotics, endoscopy, and intra-operative imaging including fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS), which highlight tumors in real-time without using ionizing radiation. However, like many medical innovations, technical, economic, and logistic challenges have hindered widespread adoption of FGS beyond high-resource centers.
