Quantitative imaging of lymphatic function with liposomal indocyanine green.
Lymphatic vessels play a major role in cancer progression and in postsurgical lymphedema, and several new therapeutic approaches targeting lymphatics are currently being developed. Thus, there is a critical need for quantitative imaging methods to measure lymphatic flow. Indocyanine green (ICG) has been used for optical imaging of the lymphatic system, but it is unstable in solution and may rap...

vitreous cavity. Strong glial fibrillary acidic protein positivity confirms the diagnosis. Thickening of the vessel walls, perivascular pigment, intralesional cysts, and calcareous deposits (calcospherites) are also detectable. Massive retinal gliosis is characteristically encountered in phthisical eyes after trauma, surgery, or inflammation and in other conditions such as retinopathy of premat...
متن کاملNew Navigation Surgery for Resection of Lymphatic Malformations Using Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging
BACKGROUND We used indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging to completely resect lymphatic malformations (LMs). This is the first report of navigation surgery utilizing ICG fluorescence imaging for resection of LMs. CASE REPORT A 15-year-old boy was diagnosed with LMs in the abdominal wall. The extent of the tumor was determined by an ultrasound, and ICG (Diagnogreen®, Daiichi-Sankyo Pharma...
متن کاملIndocyanine green fluorescence imaging in the surgical management of liver cancers: current facts and future implications.
Imaging detection of liver cancers and identification of the bile ducts during surgery, based on the fluorescence properties of indocyanine green, has recently been developed in liver surgery. The principle of this imaging technique relies on the intravenous administration of indocyanine green before surgery and the illumination of the surface of the liver by an infrared camera that simultaneou...
متن کاملIndocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging in Colorectal Surgery: Reviewing the Current Literature, Applications, and Future Direction
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is a surgical tool with increasing applications in colorectal surgery. This tool has received acceptance in various surgical disciplines as a potential method to enhance surgical field visualization, improve lymph node retrieval, and decrease anastomotic leaks. In colorectal surgery specifically, small studies have shown intraoperative fluorescence i...
