Per current standard of care for patients with breast cancer, three different tracers will be injected in the participants: technetium radiocolloid, indocyanine green and methylene blue. Initially, the surgeon will identify the location of the sentinel lymph node per standard of care by using a handheld gamma-probe and by visual inspection of the wound site. While the surgeon is locating the sentinel lymph nodes in the underarm surgical wound site, the investigators will be recording the fluorescent signals from the same site with the bio-inspired multispectral camera.
All resected tissue from the patient will be imaged with the multispectral camera before sending samples for pathology analysis. Results obtained from the multispectral cameras will not be presented to the surgeon during the surgery in order not to influence their surgical decision.
