The present invention relates to a system and method for achieving in-situ visualization of a target site within a patient during a medical procedure. Accordingly, the system selectively targets one or more locations of a target site within a patient, a plurality of fluorescent molecules configured to bind thereto, and a plurality of fluorescent molecules to a target site in the patient. And a delivery mechanism for delivering toward. In addition, the system includes a detection device configured to generate a detectable signal that includes information about the target site and to transmit the detectable signal to an imaging system for viewing by a user such as a physician. Including. Thus, the fluorescent molecules provide in-situ visualization of the target site when viewed through the patient's skin. [Selection] Figure 1 |
