NIR Merged View of Osteosarcoma Metastases

Caption

Osteosarcoma metastases display in situ fluorescence during intraoperative molecular imaging. Four hours after delivery of OTL38, osteosarcoma metastases display fluorescence during real-time molecular imaging. This technology may help surgeons localize nodules found by preoperative imaging or identify additional small disease deposits which are undetectable using standard imaging/intraoperative modalities.
