Real-time endoscopic rectal lesion characterization employing artificial intelligence (AI) and near-infrared (NIR) imaging of the fluorescence perfusion indicator agent Indocyanine Green (ICG) has demonstrated promise. However, commercially available...
Tooth cracks, one of the most common dental diseases, can result in the tooth falling apart without prompt treatment; dentists also have difficulty locating cracks, even with X-ray imaging. Indocyanine green (ICG) assisted near-infrared fluorescence ...

Colorectal cancer remains a major cause of cancer death and morbidity worldwide. Surgery is a major treatment modality for primary and, increasingly, secondary curative therapy. However, with more patients being diagnosed with early stage and premali...
Fluorescence imaging is a real-time intraoperative navigation modality to enhance surgical vision and it can guide emergency surgeons while performing difficult, high-risk surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to assess current knowledge, att...
BACKGROUND: Current evidence about intraoperative anastomotic testing after left-sided colorectal resections is still controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of Indocyanine Green fluorescent angiography (ICG-FA) and air-leak te...

Tashiro and colleagues demonstrated for the first time that an artificial intelligence system can precisely identify intrahepatic vascular structures during laparoscopic liver resection in real time through color coding under bleeding and indocyanine...
Intravenous indocyanine green (IV ICG) is regarded as a safe immunofluorescence agent used to assess bowel perfusion prior to creating bowel anastomoses and aids in ureter identification during intra-abdominal surgery. We report the first instance of...
