The software quantifies the signal intensity, allowing researchers to say exactly how much of a drug reached the target compared to healthy tissue. 🌟 Why It Matters
By tagging medications (such as encapsulated liposomes) with fluorescent markers, scientists can monitor how long a drug stays in the bloodstream and whether it successfully reaches the tumor site. This is critical for improving the efficiency of chemotherapy. 3. Longitudinal Tumor Studies PearlCAM
Biological tissues naturally glow under certain light; the NIR range used by PearlCAM minimizes this "noise," resulting in much clearer images. The system is a staple in laboratories focusing
High-sensitivity detection of signals from within internal organs or deep-seated tumors. The software quantifies the signal intensity
The system is a staple in laboratories focusing on translational medicine. Key use cases include: 1. Fluorescence-Guided Surgery
The subject is placed in the imaging chamber. PearlCAM software captures the NIR signal and overlays it on a standard grayscale "white light" image for anatomical context.
Before a new cancer drug or imaging agent can be tested on humans, it must be proven effective and safe in animal models. Systems like the LI-COR Pearl Trilogy provide the high-quality data required by regulatory bodies (like the FDA) to move a discovery from the lab to the clinic.
