Use of Indocyanine Green (ICG) in Hepatology

Retina: indocyanine green (ICG) angiography.

A feasibility study (ICG-10) of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence mapping for sentinel lymph node detection in early breast cancer.

BACKGROUND There is now increasing evidence to support the use of indocyanine green (ICG) for sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection in early breast cancer. The primary objective of this feasibility study (ICG-10) was to determine the sensitivity and safety of ICG fluorescence imaging in sentinel lymph node identification when combined with blue dye and radiocolloid. METHODS One hundred women wi...

3325 Indocyanine green dye (ICG) fluorescence and absorption properties as a function of time

Purpose : To evaluate the in viva behavior of ICG and the evolution of ICG absorption and fluorescence properties after injection. Materials EL Methods : ICG (SERB, France) (15mglKg) was injected intravenously to 10 hamsters : 0 For 5 animals, fluorescence measurements were realized (Spectro-fluorimeter or Hamamatsu Argus 50 imaging system) on a vessel with a delay ranging from Omn to 8Omn afte...

Fluorescent property of indocyanine green (ICG) rubber ring using LED and laser light sources

Fluorescent properties of ICG depends on solvent. Fluorescent characteristics of ICG rubber rings and optimized detection system condition were identified. The fluorescent rubber rings are produced by drying mixture of ICG solution and liquid rubber. LED and laser light sources were used to test differences between them. Other variables are ICG molar concentration (100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10μM), e...

Indocyanine Green (ICG)-Loaded Nanocarriers as Optical Contrast Agents for Enhancing Breast Cancer Detection

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and one of the main leading causes of cancer deaths in the USA. Optical imaging in the near infrared spectrum provides tumor functional information at the tissue and molecular level needed for early breast cancer detection. Early detection will significantly reduce the breast cancer mortality. To enhance the detection sensitivity an...
