Sentinel lymph node fingerprinting.

Conclusions - These promising results under short exposure time are very encouraging for SLN biopsy. Although, this device has not been tested on patients yet, we believe: that this approach will give the surgeon accurate 3D positions of the SLN and hence, can potentially reduce the trauma for the patient.
