Industrial Applicability |
The hand-held device for indocyanine green fluorescent imaging has rather poor image stability,its light source modules can be small in size, high in cost,difficult to product. Therefore, the development of a device capable of simultaneously imaging blood vesselslymphatic images on a real patient's body picture, equipped with a mobile platform is necessory.
