The Application of Indocyanine-Green(ICG) Fluorescence Imaging in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

January 2, 2019 updated by: Zhujiang Hospital
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG)-based fluorescence imaging in the detection of liver tumors. By correlating the ICG fluorescence patterns with pathologically confirmed tumors , it would be possible to use fluorescence navigation system in helping promoting oncology treatment.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Indocyanine-Green(ICG) injection group
ICG was administered intravenously 24 hours before the operation , or directly into the portal vein branches supplying the tumor-bearing hepatic segment, after puncturing of the target segments under intraoperative ultrasonography guidance.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The accuracy of detecting small liver tumor by ICG fluorescence.
Time Frame: 3 Days
The tumor which aggregate ICG fluorescence will be resected and dignosed by pathology. The accuracy of detecting small liver tumor by ICG fluorescence will be evaluated.
3 Days
The accuracy of positive margins of resection detected by ICG fluorescence.
Time Frame: 3 Days
The surgery margins will be detected by ICG fluorescence. If there is fluorescence aggregating, we consider the presence of residual tumor in the margin and proven by histological examination.
3 Days
