Abstract
Fluorescence imaging using ICG is an intraoperative imaging technique that has been applied clinically in recent years due to the widespread use of near-infrared imaging systems. In this article, we review the history of bile duct imaging using ICG fluorescence and demonstrate the practice of intraoperative imaging with caution and future prospects.
