Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been developed.

Area of Science:

Surgical Navigation Technologies
Medical Informatics
Public Health Trends

Background:

Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) adoption is increasing globally across various surgical disciplines.
Quantifying the expansion of FGS is challenging using traditional survey methods.
Google Trends (GT) offers a novel approach to analyze public interest in specific medical topics.

Purpose of the Study:

To utilize Google Trends (GT) data as an indicator of worldwide interest in fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS).
To assess the temporal and geographical trends of FGS-related search queries.
To explore correlations between FGS search trends and specific surgical subspecialties.

Main Methods:

Google Trends (GT) data was analyzed for Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms related to FGS from 2019 to 2024.
Data included search interest over time, geographical distribution (country/continent), and related queries.
Correlation analyses were performed between MeSH terms (indocyanine green, fluorescence imaging) and surgical subspecialties.

Main Results:

Worldwide searches for indocyanine green (ICG) and fluorescence imaging (FI) have significantly increased from 2019 to 2024.
The Americas show the highest interest in ICG and FI, followed by Europe and Asia.
Significant positive correlations were found between ICG/FI interest and endocrine, urologic, and gynecologic surgery.

Conclusions:

Google Trends data effectively complements the understanding of FGS adoption worldwide.
Integrating GT trends with healthcare advocacy and patient education can further promote FGS applications.
Increased public interest suggests a growing potential for FGS in enhancing surgical safety and outcomes.
