Lecture Abstract

Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging using exogenous contrast agents such as indocyanine green has gained much attention as a tool for enhancing visualization of vasculature and other biological structures during surgical procedures.  Innovative molecular imaging techniques based on NIRF imaging are also in the clinical translation pipeline.  In order to address the emerging need for standardization of these technologies, it is necessary to develop and validate test methods suitable for objective, quantitative assessment of device performance. Towards this goal, we identify a cohesive battery of image quality characteristics that are consistent with prior medical imaging standards and describe best practices for phantom design, measurement, and calculation of specific performance metrics.  Using an NIRF imaging system providing excitation at 780 nm and detection above 830 nm, we implement these methods to evaluate spatial resolution, depth of field, sensitivity, linearity, uniformity, field of view, and spectral crosstalk.  These measurements are performed using fluorophore-doped multi-well plate and high turbidity planar phantoms, as well as a USAF 1951 resolution target.  Finally, we discuss the utility of objective, quantitative, target-based testing approaches as well as how NIRF imaging standards can be formulated to accommodate a diversity of device-agent combination products.
