NIR Fluorescence Imaging Technique in Thoracic Surgery With ICG

Summary

This study aims to first apply near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology in thoracic surgery with indocyanine green in China. To evaluate the feasibility usage of the investigators' fluorescence imaging systems and the safety applications in intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping of lung and esophageal cancer, lung nodule imaging, lung segment resection boundary determination, esophagus - tubular anastomosis, thoracic duct imaging and chylothorax repairing thoracic surgery. Aim to achieve precise boundaries definition during thoracic surgery and realize accurate, minimally invasive thoracic surgery with fluorescence imaging technology.
