Apparatus for evaluating perfusion of penetrating branch blood vessel and method for controlling operation of apparatus for evaluating perfusion of penetrating branch blood vessel
A method and apparatus for preoperative identification of a perforator vessel for plastic and/or reconstructive surgery using ICG fluorescence angiography imaging are disclosed. Time - resolved image processing is used to highlight perforator locations and to enable visual discrimination among candidate perforators by various computed metrics. Based on the metrics, the surgeon is able to interactively locate and select perforator vessels suitable for plastic and reconstructive surgery.
