The black-and-white SPY Fluorescence mode, green-contrast PIN- POINT Fluorescence mode and SPY CSF (Color-Segmented Fluorescence) mode offer different variations on visible light. They enable surgeons to visualize blood flow in vessels, tissue perfusion and anatomical structures to serve a range of minimally invasive procedures in real time, without interrupting surgery, and with no radiation exposure. What's more, they do it all at the same time. The PINPOINT imaging system pro- vides simultaneous HD white-light views and on-demand HD fluorescence views as well. A light source designed to continuous- ly illuminate the site with different wave- lengths of the spectrum and a laparoscopic camera developed with multiple sensors that separately detect these types of light means sur- geons don't have to change their operating plans or toggle between modalities in order to obtain the most effective image. — David Bernard Novadaq Technologies PINPOINT Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging System • The SPY Fluorescence mode highlights a colon resection. • A colon resection seen through the PINPOINT Fluorescence mode. • The SPY CSF (color-segmented fluorescence) mode during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
