Abstrakt: The article focuses on a research related to determination of metastatic status of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in melanoma through multispectral optoacoustic imaging. Topics discussed include improving or replacing conventional lymph node excision protocols Novel imaging approaches assessing SLN metastatic status; using noninvasive multispectral optoacoustic tomography for melanoma diagnosis; and near-infrared fluorophore indocyanine.
