Near-infrared imaging can assist with the management of oncologic surgical cases. This technology can help achieve clean surgical margins and evaluate lymphatic involvement. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is a valuable tool for enhanced visualization of hepatic lesions. Speakers in this session will discuss how they utilize these imaging tools in their clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

Know the indications for contrast-enhanced ultrasound in cases of hepatic disease.
List the clinical applications of near-infrared imaging in oncologic surgery.
Understand the advantages for the use of near-infrared imaging for evaluation and treatment of lymphatic involvement in veterinary patients.
