The purpose of this study is to determine if the integrated imaging goggle (Smart Goggles) is as good as or better than current technology used to assess tissue perfusion (the extent of blood flow to the tissue) in certain types of breast reconstruction procedures. The participants will be asked to participate in the study if they are scheduled to have a breast reconstruction procedure using a technique that involves transferring abdominal skin and tissues to the affected side of the chest. This technique is known as a breast reconstruction with a Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP) flap. In this pilot study, the investigators are testing the feasibility of a new device, the Integrated Imaging Goggle system (also called "Smart Goggles") as a surgical aid to differentiate between tissue with adequate blood flow and tissue without adequate blood flow by comparing measurements of fluorescence in blood vessels with current technology, the SPY-Elite system. In this study, researchers will test how quickly and accurately the fluorescent dye used to identify adequate blood flow is detected by Smart Goggles compared to the SPY Elite system.
