In brief
Commentary examining the application of indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence imaging to guide surgical decision-making during neuroblastic tumor procedures. Discusses early clinical experience with this intraoperative visualization technique for improving tumor identification and resection in pediatric oncology cases.
- ICG near-infrared fluorescence shows promise for intraoperative guidance during neuroblastic tumor biopsy and resection procedures.
- Early single-center experience suggests ICG fluorescence may aid surgical decision-making in pediatric oncology cases.
- NIR imaging technology could improve tumor visualization and margin assessment in neuroblastoma surgery.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
We read with great interest the report by Pachl et al1. on the use of indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence to support intraoperative decision-making during neuroblastic tumor biopsy and resection.
