Quantifying the Impact of Signal-to-background Ratios on Surgical Discrimination of Fluorescent Lesions

ConclusionBy tracking the surgical instruments we were able to, for the first time, quantitatively and objectively assess how the instrument positioning is impacted by fluorescent SBR. Our findings suggest that in ideal situations a minimum SBR of 1.5 is required to discriminate fluorescent lesions, a substantially lower value than the SBR 2 often reported in literature.
