First clinical study comparing hyperspectral imaging technique with ICG fluorescein angiography

Recently, the team of Prof. Ines Gockel and PD Dr. Boris Jansen-Winkeln published for the first time in the International Journal of Colorectal Disease a comparative study of hyperspectral imaging (TIVITA^® Tissue) and fluorescence angiography (indocyanine green) for the determination of the incision margin in colorectal resections.

This prospective, human study showed that both methods visualize blood perfusion comparably well and safely, so that well perfused anastomoses can be created with their support.

We are very pleased about this publication and the positive results, which once again underline the clinical relevance and performance of hyperspectral imaging.
