Figure 2

Sentinel lymph node mapping with ICG fluorescence using the Karl Storz VITOM camera. Breast with marked incision line for tumor-adapted oncoplastic reduction plasty in clear light (a) and after switching to NIR fluorescence (b), with the latter image displaying a fluorescent lymphatic vessel, which runs from the areola to the axillary region (c). After skin incision, fluorescent lymphatic vessels appear (d). The sentinel lymph node is presented by clear shining blue (e) and can be identified as lymph node in clear light (f).
