Abstract

Abstract: Indocyanine green (ICG), a cationic cyanine dye, has the advantages of low toxicity, high affinity and near-infrared emission. Therefore, as a kind of near-infrared organic fluorescent dye which can be used in clinical medicine, it has been widely applied in biological imaging, disease diagnosis and other fields. In this paper, the clinical application and tumor diagnosis and treatment of indocyanine green were discussed, and the relevant information about ICG was comprehensively introduced through examples.

Key words: indocyanine green, fluorescent dyes, bioimaging, diagnosis and treatment
