Researchers Maarten Kuijk and Hans Ingelberts of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel are leading the international European consortium CoDaFlight (Colouring the Dark in Fluorescent light). The consortium’s aim is to lay the foundation for the use of fluorescence lifetime imaging in medical procedures such as image-guided surgery and monitoring disease-related processes. The work is based on an innovative camera that can capture the lifetime of fluorescence in order to characterise tissue in situ.
Until now, near-infrared fluorescence imaging has mainly been used in research, but it allows processes in the body to be visualised in real time. ...
