Abstract

It is difficult to detect micrometastasis of liver cancer with conventional imaging techniques, which leads to high recurrence rate after surgical excision in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis. The emergence of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging technology solves this problem. This article reviews the mechanism of this new technology, its clinical application in liver cancer resection and also discussed the advantages and limitations for indocyanine green fluorescence imaging technology. Key words: Colorectal neoplasms; Liver neoplasms; Hepatectomy; Indocyanine green(ICG); Florescence imaging
