Abstract
Noninvasive photoacoustic and US mapping of rat sentinel lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels was successfully demonstrated by using methylene blue dye with a modified clinical US imaging system. PurposeTo evaluate in vivo sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping by using photoacoustic and ultrasonographic (US) imaging with a modified clinical US imaging system.Materials and MethodsAnimal protocol...Keywords
