  • Imaging system and method for fluorescence guided surgery
    Patent number: 12543952
    Abstract: Imaging systems for fluorescence guided surgery are provided. An imaging system comprises a light source unit for providing one or more illumination and excitation lights to a target, a detection unit for detecting reflectance and fluorescence from the target, an optical train for directing the one or more illumination and excitation lights from the light source unit to the target and for directing the reflectance and fluorescence from the target to the detection unit, and a control unit for controlling the light source unit and the detection unit. Imaging methods for fluorescence guided surgery are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 10, 2026
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Paul Steinbach, Quyen T. Nguyen, Roger Y. Tsien
