This volume is a practical guide of theranostics using intraoperative fluorescence imaging technology, as an all-out effort by the Japanese Society for Fluorescence Guided Surgery. It describes the various approaches the technique is being used such as vascular imaging, identification of lymphatic vessels by intratissue injection, lymph node imaging, and imaging for identification of anatomical structures. The book is organized into three major parts and the first one delivers the basics, introducing the use of the technology in clinical settings and initial setups. Next comes the description of clinical applications where chapters illustrate perfusion assessment, cancer localization, anatomy visualization, and lymph nodes/ducts mapping. Each chapter is devoted to the specific surgical field and disease areas, presenting images and videos of case studies. The last part presents some upcoming techniques for treatments. The Editor and the authors wish the ideas presented here will be hints to bridge the knowledge between surgeons and basic researchers for further innovation and practicality. It is important to stay up-to-date since intraoperative fluorescence imaging has been applied to clinical settings in various surgical fields and at the same time, novel techniques improving the efficacy of the technology have also been developed actively. Fluorescence-Guided Surgery – From Lab to Operation Room is recommended for surgeons, operating nurses, medical experts, basic researchers and, industry engineers worldwide beyond boundaries of specialties. Edited and written by experts of The Japanese Society for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery, those who are the founders of the technology, it describes the accurate development history and cutting-edge techniques based on the knowledge accumulated over the years. This is a translated version of the book originally published in Japanese language. This has been facilitated using machine translation (by the service DeepL.com) followed by authors revising, editing and verifying the translated manuscript.

This volume presents the experiences of leading researchers and surgeons with different fluorescence methods. Chapters range from basic science of fluorescence to current clinical applications and new horizons. The first few chapters cover the historical evolution and physical principles of fluorescence and provide the foundation for the reader to understand the current scope and limits of its use in surgery. The second section focuses on the clinical applications of intraoperative fluorescence imaging, including subsections on fluorescence cholangiography, applications to hepatectomy, lymph node navigation, applications to GI tract and pelvic surgery and identification of cancer tissues. The third section focuses on new frontiers including fluorescence probes, imaging systems and applications to photodynamic therapy.   Authored by leaders in the development of fluorescent methods worldwide, Fluorescence Imaging for Surgeons: Concepts and Applications will have an impact on numerous medical specialists including general surgeons, colorectal and minimally-invasive surgeons and surgical oncologists. Researchers will find the book to be an invaluable resource on the latest advances in the utilization of nanoparticles and fluorescent probes.
