Fluorescent contrast agents may guide surgeons in making real-time decisions during surgery. ICG is an NIR contrast dye, which was approved by the FDA for clinical use in the USA. It is a water-soluble organic compound, which may easily penetrate tissues and cells with an adverse reaction rate of
0.1%.
