Table 1 Advantages and drawbacks of fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging
| Â | Fluorescence | Magnetic resonance imaging |
|---|---|---|
Spatial resolution | Low | High |
Sensitivity | High | Low |
Specificity | Weak | T1 imaging is better for anatomic structure; T2 imaging is better for tissue lesions |
Penetration depth | Shallow | Deep |
Acquisition time | From a few seconds to a few minutes | From several minutes to a few hours |
Traumatic | Noninvasion | Noninvasion |
