Abstract
BackgroundThere are currently no thymus-specific contrast agents for biomedical imaging. Thus, finding ectopic thymic tissue during certain operations is extremely difficult. The purpose of the present study was to determine if near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging could provide high sensitivity, real-time identification of thymic tissue during the operation.MethodsAfter initial in vivo screening of a 315-compound NIR fluorophore library for...
