About NIR FI
Surgery in the near-infrared light spectrum is a variant in minimally invasive surgery. For these operations, a visualization system is used that displays the enrichment of a fluorescent solution such as indocyanine green (ICG) on the screen.
SCHÖLLY has developed a system for this purpose, where the user can switch between three NIR FI modes in addition to the white light display.
NIR FI Green mode
A black and white image with a green overlay is displayed on the monitor through special filtering. The blood circulation of an organ or vessels (e.g. bile ducts) can be displayed.
NIR FI Intensity mode
Here, the background image is black and white; the overlay is displayed in the color ranges blue to yellow. Yellow indicates a high ICG concentration, blue areas have a low concentration. Lymph nodes, for example, can be detected particularly well in this mode.
NIR FI Contrast mode
This depiction shows the structures in even greater detail and without distracting background information. If no fluorescence solution arrives, no fluorescence response is given. The area therefore remains dark. This mode provides even clearer information on which structures have strong blood flow.
The following products are intended to be used as a system for NIR FI applications and cannot be combined with NIR FI products from other suppliers.
