Jane Macaskill Introduction: A recent meta-analysis [Lancet Oncol. 2010;11:908–909] has confirmed high sensitivity of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence mapping for sentinel node detection...

... to use near-infrared (NIR) light and NIR active tracers such as indocyanine green. This review provides an overview of the current status of intraoperative lymph node mapping in the colon, identifies challenges to the delivery of the techniques, and discusses potential solutions that may help SLNM play...

... current technology is still very difficult. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging allows quantitative assessment of the fluorescent signal from indocyanine green (ICG) in regions of interest on the liver surface. This method might offer a new promising modality for evaluating regional liver reserve...

... visualization of the common bile duct and bile duct anastomoses could be of added value. In this study, we explored the use of indocyanine green (ICG) for these applications and attempted to optimize injection timing and dose. Methods: Eight patients undergoing a pancreaticoduodenectomy were injected...

...T. Noritomi; Y. Yamashita; T. Kodama; K. Mikami; T. Hashimoto; T. Konno; T. Maekawa; T. Shirakusa Background: Dye-enhanced laser ablation (DLA) using a low-power diode laser for indocyanine green (ICG)-stained tissue has proven its effectiveness in dye-enhanced laser photocoagulation of retinal...

...A. Tanaka; H. Shinohara; Y. Yamaoka As glucagon is known to cause a receptor-mediated increase in intracellular calcium and cyclic AMP, we have developed a novel method of evaluating the integrity of the signal transduction and transport system using glucagon-induced changes in indocyanine green...
