Background: The insufficient reliability of preoperative imaging technology and limited convenience of intraoperative visualizing techniques have been associated with difficulty in surgical navigation in neck endocrine surgery. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging has stood out as the real-time intraoperative guide amidst research for novel modalities, with an emerging use in endocrine surgery.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of the PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases, to identify published studies on parathyroid and thyroid operations employing ICG. Well-described articles were selected according to 7 criteria and analyzed per operation type and organ structure.
Results: Twenty-one articles matched our selection criteria. Dosage, equipment, and techniques are well-described in literature. ICG was found to significantly enhance the surgical experience and outcomes. Occasional discrepancy among studies was attributed to the lack of standard quantification of values and divergence of study designs.
Conclusion: The most successful applications of ICG are:Future research is needed for standard quantification of fluorescence intensity and objective comparisons.

Surgery for spinal intramedullary tumors remains a major challenge for neurosurgeons. Successful surgery requires experience, skill, and intraoperative imaging support. Fluorescence imaging technology has become a valuable support in neurosurgical procedures of not only the brain but also the spinal cord.

The limited selectivity and high systemic toxicity of traditional chemotherapy hinder its efficacy in treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The combination of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) with chemotherapy has emerged as a novel strategy for cancer treatment, aiming to improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce systemic toxicity. However, challenges such as elevated drug clearance rates and non-selecitivity remain to be resolved.

Background: This study aimed to compare the rates of postoperative and permanent hypocalcemia between postthyroidectomy indocyanine green angiography and indocyanine green angiography-guided thyroidectomy performed intraoperatively for identification and preservation of the parathyroids.
Methods: We undertook a retrospective study of 2 cohorts of patients with thyroid cancer undergoing total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection. The first cohort (control group) included patients who underwent postthyroidectomy indocyanine green angiography to predict parathyroid function by scoring the degree of fluorescence (0, black; nonvascularized; 1, gray/heterogeneous: partially vascularized; and 2, white: well vascularized), and the second cohort (angiography-guided thyroidectomy) included patients undergoing initially indocyanine green angiography-guided thyroidectomy to identify the feeding vessels of the parathyroid glands followed by postthyroidectomy indocyanine green angiography.
