Initial experience with a new quantitative assessment tool for fluorescent imaging in peripheral artery disease.

CONCLUSIONS: In addition to ABI and slope of oscillation (SOO), the ICG-FI technique allows visual assessment in combination with quantitative assessment of tissue perfusion in patients with PAD. Ratios related to different perfusion patterns and SFI seem to be useful tools to reduce factors disturbing ICG-FI measurements.
