Redosing of Fluorescein Sodium Improves Image Interpretation During Intraoperative Ex Vivo Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy of Brain Tumors

BackgroundFluorescein sodium (FNa) is a fluorescence agent used with a wide-field operating microscope for intraoperative guidance and with confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) to evaluate brain tissue. Susceptibility of FNa to degradation over time may affect CLE image quality during prolonged surge...
