ICG Dosing and Timing Chart for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery

Proper dosing and timing of indocyanine green (ICG) are essential to achieve reliable fluorescence imaging during surgical procedures. The ICG Dosing & Timing Chart developed by the International Society for Fluorescence Guided Surgery (ISFGS) provides practical guidance on how to use ICG across a wide range of surgical applications.

This reference tool summarizes recommended injection techniques, dosage ranges, dilution protocols, and expected fluorescence detection times for different procedures. By standardizing key parameters such as dose, route of administration, and timing, the chart helps surgeons optimize near-infrared fluorescence imaging and improve intraoperative visualization during fluorescence-guided surgery.

This charts includes procedure-specific guidance for common applications such as cholecystectomy, colorectal surgery, liver surgery, esophagectomy, lymphatic mapping, and tumor visualization, providing surgeons with a quick and practical reference for the use of indocyanine green in clinical practice.
