Optical Surgical Navigation (OSN/ASIGS) – Interest Group

INTEREST GROUP

WMIS COMMUNITY

ABOUT OSN

We envision molecular optical imaging instruments, pharmaceuticals, tissue dyes and methods of increasing capability, safety and efficiency leading to the use of Intra-Operative Optical Surgical Navigation techniques during the majority of surgeries to mark and visualize tissues, cells, and biochemical events in real time.  The directions are currently in improved instrumentation, topical and pharmaceutical markers, ancillary equipment and expanding indications.

Mission Statement

To advance and support optical molecular imaging education, innovation, standardization, and translation to clinical use.
