The wide availability of near infrared light sources in interventional medical imaging stacks enables non-invasive quantification of perfusion by using fluorescent dyes, typically Indocyanine Green
Fluorescent cholangiography using intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) is a noninvasive technique that enables real-time intraoperative imaging of biliary anatomy. The objective of this study was
Vascular patency is the key element for high flap survival rates. The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the blood flow characteristics
Objective: To assess the role of indocyanine green in liver transplantation and to lay the foundation for its application in clinical practice. Background: Liver transplantation
Indocyanine green, near infrared, fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) is increasingly adopted in colorectal surgery for intraoperative tissue perfusion assessment to reduce anastomotic leakage rates. However, the
Fluorescence imaging in colorectal surgery is considered a novel predominantly intraoperative method of ensuring a greater surgical success. The use of fluorescence is linked to
With the development of three-dimensional (3D) simulation software, preoperative simulation technology is almost completely established. The remaining issue is how to recognize anatomy three-dimensionally. Extended
Log into this free webinar on March 16th – 8am NY time; 2pm CET and hear latest thinking on fluorescence imaging by Drs Chand, Rosenthal,
Background/aim: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is used to treat primary and metastatic tumors in the liver. However, local recurrence after RFA is frequent and subsequent salvage
Background: The application of indocyanine green fluorescence-guided hepatectomy for liver metastases from colorectal cancer is in the preliminary stage of clinical practice; thus, its efficacy
Purpose: Primary inflammatory choriocapillaropathies (PICCPs) belong to a group of intraocular inflammatory diseases with the common characteristic of inflammatory choriocapillaris hypo- or non-perfusion as the
A poll of more than 2,300 healthcare leaders by Definitive Healthcare found more than 36% of respondents called the loss of revenue in hospitals the
Traditional methods of assessing colonic perfusion are based on the surgeon’s visual inspection of tissue. Fluorescence angiography provides qualitative information, but there remains disagreement on
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is an easy and reproducible method to detect hepatic lesions, both primary and metastatic. This review reports the potential benefits
“FGS is one of the most revolutionary technologies in the field of surgery today,” says Dr. Raul Rosenthal, regional chairman for the Digestive Disease and
Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury remains a primary concern in upper extremity transplantation. Ex vivo normothermic perfusion (EVNP) enables near-physiological organ preservation, avoiding the deleterious effects of
Background: The application of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging in surgery is growing. This study aimed to systematically review the literature to summarize the intraoperative
Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has proven to be a high potential navigation tool during liver surgery; however, its optimal usage is still far from
Background: Securing the proximal resection margin in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer is related to curability and recurrence, while reducing the operation time
In the present study, patients with colorectal anastomoses that were assessed with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography (FA) were compared to patients who had only
