AI Article Synopsis
- A new nerve-specific imaging agent using SWIR quantum dots is introduced to help prevent nerve injuries during surgery.
- This imaging technology offers real-time and extended visualizations, making it easier to identify nerves while operating.
- By improving nerve identification, this method significantly reduces the chances of accidental nerve damage during surgical procedures.
Article Abstract
Here, we present a novel nerve specific imaging agent for preventing intraoperative nerve injuries based on SWIR QD-based in vivo imaging, which not only provides real-time and long-time SWIR images to intraoperatively identify nerves but can also markedly minimize the risk of iatrogenic nerve injuries during surgeries.
