Journal ArticleDOI

Image-guided cancer surgery using near-infrared fluorescence.

TL;DR: The concept of NIR fluorescence imaging for cancer surgery is introduced, the clinical trial literature to date is examined, and the key issues pertaining to imaging system and contrast agent optimization are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clinical use of indocyanine green as a near-infrared fluorescent contrast agent for image-guided oncologic surgery

TL;DR: Although non‐targeted and non‐conjugatable, ICG appears to be laying the foundation for more widespread use of NIR fluorescence‐guided surgery, understanding its advantages and limitations is of significant importance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Near-infrared fluorescence-guided resection of colorectal liver metastases.

TL;DR: If optical imaging, using a contrast agent already approved for other indications, could improve hepatic metastasectomy with curative intent, to optimize dose and timing, and to determine the mechanism of contrast agent accumulation are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical Image-guided Surgery—Where Do We Stand?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the wide range of molecular contrast agents targeting specific hallmarks of cancer and describe perspectives on its future use in cancer surgery, as well as various techniques, contrast agents, and camera systems that are currently used for image-guided surgery.
