EMEA ICG Dosing and Timing Chart for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery

The EMEA ICG dosing chart provides practical, procedure-specific guidance for the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in fluorescence-guided surgery across multiple specialties. It summarizes key parameters such as recommended dosage, injection techniques, dilution protocols, and imaging timing to support consistent and effective use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging.

Designed as a quick reference tool for surgical teams, the chart helps standardize intraoperative workflows, improve visualization of critical structures, and support safer and more precise surgical decision-making in clinical practice.

Join us to stay updated on the latest dosing charts, access travel grants, and explore a global hub of surgical videos, abstracts, and advances in fluorescence-guided surgery.
