Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green dye (ICG) is an emerging technology in detecting the anatomy of the thoracic duct; hence, it can be useful for the identification of the thoracic duct in real time and prevention of its injury during thoracic surgery. It helps to localize thoracic duct injury, identifying chyle leaks in difficult, recurrent, and refractory cases. This review paper provides insights regarding the current applications, advantages, and potential developments of NIR fluorescence imaging with ICG in recognizing thoracic duct during thoracic surgery.
使用吲哚菁绿染料（ICG）的近红外（NIR）荧光成像技术是检测胸导管解剖结构的一项新兴技术；因此，它有助于在胸外科手术中实时识别胸导管并防止其损伤。它有助于定位胸导管损伤，识别疑难、复发性和难治性病例中的乳糜漏。本文综述了ICG近红外荧光成像技术在胸外科手术中识别胸导管的当前应用、优势及潜在发展情况。
