Integrating ICG and fluorescent imaging provides a complementary adjunct to ultrasound in identifying HCC nodules. While previous applications of ICG typically require injections several days prior to surgery or segmental injections, this study demonstrates a novel real-time application of ICG to aid surgeons with various experiences in laparoscopic-assisted ablation procedures for HCC.
