Fluorescence Signal Intensity-based Ranking of Dissected LNs per Neck. a Fluorescence signal intensity-based ranking of small and large LNs in the nine patients with pathologically positive necks. TP true positive (fluorescence positive, histopathologically confirmed metastatic LN); TN true negative (fluorescence negative, histopathologically benign LN); FP false positive (fluorescence positive, histopathologically benign LN); FN false negative (fluorescence negative, histopathologically confirmed metastatic LN). b Using the first three LNs with the highest fluorescence signal would provide accurate staging in all patients. c Sensitivity and specificity based on the number of LNs per neck that need to be assessed by pathology. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. LN lymph node
