- Abstract
Cancer surgery requires removing the tumor tissue in necessary and sufficient quantities. Spectral optical imaging in the short-wave infrared (900–1700 nm) could provide an intraoperative guidance to the surgeon based on the absorption of the tissues without contrast agent. Our objective was to ensure the safety of our ENDOSWIR device on human tissues. Histological analysis of fresh human tonsils exposed to the SWIR light or not was compared and showed no histological differences. This demonstrates the safety of using the SWIR device on human tissues and allows us to initiate a clinical study for the resection of tumors intraoperatively.
