Analysis sequence for lymph node fluorescence imaging in intraoperative surgical guidance resecting the target: a percutaneous NIR fluorescence image; b in situ NIR fluorescence image; c in situ NIR fluorescence image of LN-A in Rabbit 4 with signal-to-background (SBR) ratios, the SBR for region-of-interest 1 and 2 are 6.0 and 4.6, respectively; d ex-vivo NIR fluorescence image of resected lymph node; e Pathology examination of tissue slice stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E); f Pathology examination of tissue slice with pan-cytokeratin straining (AE1/AE3). Note: H&E and AE1/AE3 slice suggest the resected lymph node is positive which correspondent to surgeon’s anatomical inspection
