A novel image‐guided surgery of hepatocellular carcinoma by indocyanine green fluorescence imaging navigation

The clear delineation between tumor and normal tissue is ideal for real‐time surgical navigation imaging. We present a novel indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging technique to visualize hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
