Preferred Label : Myelin-binding Imaging Agent;
NCIt synonyms : Illuminare-1; Myelin-binding Fluorophore;
NCIt definition : A small molecule, myelin binding agent conjugated to a fluorophore, that can potentially
be used for the intraoperative fluorescence detection and localization of nerve structures.
Upon administration of the myelin-binding imaging agent, the myelin-binding moiety
targets and specifically binds to myelin. Upon fluorescence imaging, nerve tissues
are illuminated and can be visualized. The localization of myelin may decrease myelinated
nerve injuries during surgery.;
