ly. When it comes to
patient safety, 5 heads
are better than 1.
What other develop-
ments in surgical imag-
ing are poised to make a
significant difference in
the OR?
Dr. Renton: Indocyanine
green (ICG) immuno-
fluorescence is an
exciting new develop-
ment, even though
the technology has
been around for 50
years. ICG is injected
into the patient and
distributed in the
bloodstream to differ-
ent parts of the body.
It concentrates in the
biliary system, which
indicates to the sur-
geon where anatomy
is located.
Immunofluorescence
is also useful for
assessing perfusion.
