Aim of the present study is to investigate if a combination of a radioactive and fluorescent tracer can increase the sensitivity and specificity of the SLNM technique in colon and rectal cancer by utilizing the radioactive component for preoperative…
Primary objective: To demonstrate that QVA149 (110/50 *g o.d.) is at least non-inferior to salmeterol/fluticasone (50/500 *g b.i.d.) in terms of rate of COPD exacerbations.Secondary objectives: Superiority in terms of exacerbation rate. Time to…
Primary Objective:-Evaluate tumour detection sensitivity and specificity with the following image enhancement modalities:1 *narrow-band imaging*, (NBI)2 *near-infrared indocyanin green imaging*, (ICG)3 *5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescent imaging*, (5…
To determine which advanced image enhanced modality is the most feasible for the detection of endometriosis lesions, with respect to the specificity and sensitivity of the investigated modalities. To determine which imaging modality reveals more…
To test an intra-operative fluorescent camera system with a fluorescent optical agent in detection of the sentinel lymph node. This will be compared to the standard method with radiocolloid and patent blue.
This study aims at evaluating whether indocyanin green (ICG) enhanced intra-operative near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging is as good as or even better than the standard technique (technetium-99 labeled colloid and Patent Blue) in detecting…
Ergonomics and function of the imaging system - the NIRF imaging system should not interfere with the standard Sentinel Lymph Node mapping procedure and used safely by the surgeon while detection of ICG takes place. Duration: 1,5 hour clinical…
Aim of the study is to develop an intraoperative technique for SLN mapping in colon cancer which is suitably in daily practice in colon surgery in an average hospital setting.
Study part 1A) To determine specificity and sensitivity of diagnosis of anterior ocular pathology with the smartphone enabled device, as compared to in-clinic slit-lamp and tonometry examination (gold standard).B) To determine ease of use of the…
