NIRF provides several advantages in the context of cancer diagnosis:
High Sensitivity: NIRF can detect small amounts of fluorescent probes, making it possible to identify early-stage tumors. Deep Tissue Penetration: Near-infrared light penetrates deeper into tissues than visible light, allowing for the imaging of tumors located deep within the body. Real-time Imaging: NIRF enables real-time visualization of biological processes, which is crucial for guiding surgical procedures and assessing treatment efficacy.
