  • FUNCTIONAL NEAR-INFRARED FLUORESCENCE LYMPHATIC MAPPING FOR DIAGNOSING, ACCESSING, MONITORING AND DIRECTING THERAPY OF LYMPHATIC DISORDERS
    Publication number: 20160029948
    Abstract: Methods and imaging agents are used to functionally image lymph structures and to identify, diagnose, assess, monitor and direct therapies for lymphatic disorders. Embodiments of the methods utilize highly sensitive optical imaging and fluorescent spectroscopy techniques capable of rapid temporal resolution to non-invasively track or monitor packets of imaging agents flowing in one or more lymphatic structures in human patients to provide quantitative information regarding lymph propulsion and functionality of the lymphatic structures. An imaging agent comprises a fluorophore labeled peptide capable of binding integrin ?9?1 on a lymphatic structure.
    Type: Application
