This volume serves as a practical guide to theranostics through intraoperative fluorescence imaging technology, reflecting the efforts of the Japanese Society for Fluorescence Guided Surgery. It covers various applications of the technique, including vascular imaging, lymphatic vessel identification via intratissue injection, lymph node imaging, and anatomical structure visualization. The book is structured into three main parts. The first part introduces the technology's clinical applications and initial setups. The second part details specific clinical applications, showcasing perfusion assessment, cancer localization, and lymph node mapping, with dedicated chapters for different surgical fields and diseases, accompanied by images and videos of case studies. The final part discusses emerging techniques for treatment. The editors and contributors aim to foster collaboration between surgeons and researchers to drive innovation. Staying current is essential, as intraoperative fluorescence imaging is increasingly utilized across various surgical disciplines, with ongoing advancements enhancing its efficacy. This guide is recommended for surgeons, operating nurses, medical professionals, researchers, and industry engineers globally. It is authored by experts from The Japanese Society for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery, who have substantial knowledge of the technology's development and cutting-edge techniques.
