Abstract
The emerging clinical use of fluorescent agents has led to a shift in intraoperative imaging practices that overcome the limitations of human vision, thereby improving treatment outcomes in applications such as perfusion assessment and positive margins in tumor resection. As the field of fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) expands, there is a wider range of imaging systems that are indicated for the same uses, such that there is a compelling need for standards and methods that enable system characterization and intersystem comparisons. Here we present methods for the radiometric characterization of FGS imaging systems using a calibrated solid-state emitter to enable the conversion of imager-specific responses to SI-traceable units.
