Design of a Miniature Observation Robot for Light Emitting Diode Irradiation and Indocyanine Green Fluorescence-emission Guided Lymph Node Monitoring in Operating Rooms

CONCLUSION: The proposed robot design is cost-effective and highly adjustable, enabling suitability for rapid and accurate detection of fresh lymph nodes during surgeries. The robot's capability to detect small lesions (<1 cm), as validated by phantom tests, holds promise for the detection of minute lymph nodes.PMID:37828758 | DOI:10.1177/15533506231206871
