Indocyanine green is a dye used in medicine for vascular imaging and liver function assessment. It is a fluorescent dye that, when injected intravenously, binds to plasma proteins and is rapidly cleared by the liver. Its fluorescent properties allow visualization of blood flow and blood vessels during surgical or diagnostic procedures.

Indocyanine green is commonly used in fluorescence angiography to assess tissue perfusion, particularly in reconstructive surgery, ophthalmology, and cardiology. It is also used to evaluate liver function and cardiac output.

Common side effects include nausea, injection site reactions, and, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Administration should be performed under medical supervision, and patients with iodine allergies should be closely monitored.

Indocyanine green is a valuable tool in medicine, providing clear and precise images of blood vessels and contributing to improved outcomes in surgical and diagnostic procedures.
