Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging With Indocyanine Green

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Solitary Pulmonary Nodules

In brief

This research study will evaluate how Near Infrared Fluorescence imaging (NIFI) with indocyanine green (ICG) contrast dye can assist in the identification and diagnosis of lung nodules during surgery. NIFI is an intraoperative imaging technology that utilizes a coupled camera/fluorophore (ICG) system to fluoresce tissues of interest. Intravenous ICG is a fluorophore with a long-standing high safety profile.
