Abstract:

The present invention relates to an imaging compn. for use in localization, e.g., intraoperative localization, of a tumor, in particular a gastrointestinal or colon tumor, e.g., in intraoperative localization of a rectal tumor during laparoscopic anterior resection, which comprises particles each comprising a phospholipid, wherein a near-IR fluorescent probe is non-covalently linked to the particle.
