Abstract
In recent years, intraoperative fluorescence imaging has been clinically applied to identify the extent of cancer spread and anatomical structures in real time using fluorescent probes. In Japan, indocyanine green (ICG), 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA, a precursor of porphyrin), and fluorescein have been approved by the pharmaceutical affairs bodies for clinical use, although their indications are still limited (Table 1.1). In this chapter, we will focus on the characteristics of ICG and 5-ALA for practical use in clinical situations.
