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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Fig. 30.1 Three types of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as determined by intraoperative laparoscopic indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. (a) Laparoscopic view using standard light. (b) Whole positive fluorescence in the…

Fig. 27.1 The root of the portal vein (P8ab) feeding segment S8ab was punctured with a 22 G Cattelan needle under ultrasonography (US). After the backflow was confirmed, 1 mL of indocyanine…
