Quantitative analysis of intestinal perfusion with indocyanine green (ICG) and methylene blue (MB) using a single clinically approved fluorescence imaging system: a demonstration in a porcine model
ConclusionOur fluorescence quantification analysis validates the potential to use MB for bowel perfusion assessment besides the well-known and widely used ICG. Further human studies are necessary to translate our findings to clinical applications.
