Principle and Development of ICG Method
Fig. 8.1 Advantages of NIR fluorescence over visible light: Tissue penetration (upper panel): lymphatic vessels under the skin and lymph nodes in the fatty tissue can be detected by fluorescence….
ICG Fluorescence Lymphography for Confirming Mid- to Long-term Patency of Lymphatic Venous Side-to-End Anastomosis in the Treatment of Peripheral Lymphedema
Fig. 43.1 Schema of LVSEA (a) Sidewall of the lymph vessel is incised with a micro-knife. The incision should be no wider than the outer diameter of the venous stump…
Intraoperative Evaluation of Flap Circulation by ICG Fluorescence Angiography in the Breast Reconstruction with Pedicled TRAM Frap
Fig. 21.1 Schematic diagram demonstrates the blood supply of the anterior abdominal wall. Note that the anastomosis between the deep superior epigastric artery (DSEA) and the deep inferior epigastric artery…
Detection of Hepatic Micrometastases from Pancreatic Cancer
Fig. 38.1 Hepatic micrometastases detected by using an indocyanine green fluorescent system are demonstrated. Although a hepatic tumor was not readily observable via macroscopic inspection, a fluorescent lesion was delineated…
ICG Fluorescence Navigation Surgery in Breast Reconstruction with TRAM Flaps
Fig. 20.1 Some linear enhancement from each of the perforators is observed in the TRAM flap The TRAM flap is enhanced from Zone I diffusely, when the movement of the…
Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Properties
Fig. 2.1 The PDE camera was fixed 50 mm away from the sample (white arrows). Yellow arrowhead: the filter paper (0.6 mm thick, 6-mm dia.) to which 20 μL of ICG solution was…
Comprehensive Lymphedema Evaluation Using Dynamic ICG Lymphography
Fig. 41.1 Dynamic indocyanine green lymphography 41.2 Dynamic ICG Lymphography Dynamic ICG lymphography consists of 2 phase observations: early transient phase for evaluation of lymph pump function, and late plateau…
Indocyanine Green Fluorescent Lymphography and Microsurgical Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis
Fig. 40.1 Comparison of lymphoscintigraphy with ICG lymphography Several patterns of dermal backflow can be recognized in ICG lymphography (b), but in lymphoscintigraphy no such pattern is observed (a). Each…
Basic Aspects of ICG Fluorescence Imaging of the Liver
Fig. 24.1 Inflow to the liver. Soon after the injection of ICG, ICG fluorescence flow recognized in common hepatic artery (HA) and then in portal vein (PV). There was a…
Lymphatic Pumping Pressure in the Legs and Its Association with Aging, Edema, and Quality of Life
Fig. 42.1 Mechanisms of lymphangion for lymph transportation 42.2 Methods 42.2.1 Measuring the Human Lymph Pumping Pressure All the studies described herein were approved by the Ethical Committee of Hamamatsu…
