Fig 1 Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping of the left upper lobe in a Yorkshire pig. From top to bottom are shown near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence images of the surgical field 8 minutes after injection with a mixture of indocyanine green and autologous plasma (top) and after local dissection around the SLN (2nd row). The left upper lobe (LUL) is retracted and the SLN (white arrow) is rapidly identified. For each time point, color video (left), NIR fluorescence (middle), and color-NIR merge (right) images are shown. Fluorescence images have identical exposure times (200 msec) and normalization. Positive SLN and negative regional control node postresection (bottom).
