Tissue-simulating Phantoms for Assessing Potential Near-infrared Fluorescence Imaging Applications in Breast Cancer Surgery

12.7K
Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging may improve therapeutic outcome of breast cancer surgery by enabling intraoperative tumor localization and evaluation of surgical margin status. Using tissue-simulating breast phantoms containing fluorescent tumor-simulating inclusions, potential clinical applications of NIRF imaging in breast cancer patients can be assessed for standardization and training purposes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Fluorescence dyes are increasingly vital in neurosurgery for guiding tumor resections.
  • Developing effective simulation models is crucial for training neurosurgery trainees in fluorescence-guided surgery.
  • High-grade glioma (HGG) surgery presents unique challenges requiring specialized training tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a realistic tumor model for fluorescence-guided surgery simulation in high-grade glioma (HGG).
  • To evaluate the efficacy and validity of the developed model for surgical training.

Main Methods:

  • Generated a tumor gel with agar and gelatin, mimicking HGG consistency.
  • Selected and optimized concentrations of fluorophores (fluorescein, ICG, europium, Ce6, PpIX) for realistic visualization.
  • Injected the gel into animal brains and tested resection under fluorescence microscopy.
  • Assessed model validity through surveys with neurosurgeons and trainees, including photobleaching analysis.

Main Results:

  • Developed an optimal tumor gel formula with specific agar and gelatin ratios.
  • Determined optimal concentration ranges for various fluorophores.
  • Found no significant differences in face validity, content validity, or preference among tested fluorophores.
  • Identified europium, ICG, and fluorescein as more stable against photobleaching than Ce6 and PpIX.

Conclusions:

  • The developed simulation model effectively highlights simulated tumors using different colors (green, yellow, infrared).
  • The model demonstrates high face and content validity, proving useful for training intra-axial tumor resection techniques.
  • It serves as an effective educational tool for teaching fluorescence-guided surgery nuances and subpial dissection.
