Indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence (ICG-NIRF) imaging has recently come into use as a novel method in peri-operative microvascular flap assessment. However, a majority of the many commercial devices launched for clinical use lack mobility, portability, and cost-efficiency and are thus unsuitable for intra-oral applications. This study introduces a cost-effective, customized, handheld NIRF device following principles of ICG-NIRF imaging. Moreover, the novel characteristics of our prototype, considered in conjunction with a literature review highlighting the significance of fluorescence devices in microvascular surgery, point to a new generation of devices for use in microvascular flap surgery.
吲哚菁绿近红外荧光（ICG-NIRF）成像最近已成为围手术期微血管皮瓣评估的一种新方法。然而，众多已投入临床使用的商业设备大多缺乏灵活性、便携性和成本效益，因此不适用于口腔内应用。本研究遵循ICG-NIRF成像原理，介绍了一种经济高效、定制的手持式NIRF设备。此外，结合强调荧光设备在微血管手术中重要性的文献综述，我们原型的新特性指向了新一代用于微血管皮瓣手术的设备。
