Last August Milford Regional added a state-of-the-art device to the Surgery Center that will especially benefit women undergoing breast surgery. Diana Caragacianu, MD, medical director of The Breast Center at Milford Regional, led the efforts in trialing this new technology at MRMC, demonstrating its safety and utility and resulting in the purchase of the Stryker SPY Portable Handheld Imager (SPY-PHI). This equipment uses fluorescence imaging technology that allows surgeons to visualize blood flow in vessels and related perfusion to an organ or a tissue. This type of intraoperative information acquired from the technology allows us to choose precise steps in surgery which optimizes the patient’s safest outcome.
