This sentinel lymphnodeoptical tomographic image obtaining apparatus carries out the detection of a sentinel lymphnode by use of an RI method employing a radioisotope as a tracer, and... Here we introduce a straightforward device, named opticallymphnodes detection system (OLNDS), to improve LNs location accuracy detection rate. Keywords: metastasis, sentinel lymphnode, optical imaging, hyaluronic acid, EGFR, HER2.

Key Insights
2013;20(11):3685–93. Three-dimensional optical imaging of microvascular networks within intact lymphnode in vivo. Nondestructive high-resolution transcapsule optical imaging of lymphnodes offers the potential for in situ assessment of metastatic involvement, potentially during surgical procedures. Methods. The status of lymphnodes resected under the guidance of optical imaging was confirmed by histologic examinations.

Final Thoughts
1999;17:976–983. We demonstrated that gold nanorods can be good opticallymphnode tracers. To make the PA SLN mapping more practical, we have also proposed a spectroscopic method.
