Intraoperative distinction of lesional tissue normal brain parenchyma can be difficult in neurosurgical oncology procedures. We report the successful, real-time visualization of central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma using the 'Second Window Indocyanine Green' (SWIG) method for two patients who underwent craniotomy for pathology that was determined to be large B cell lymphoma. Indocyanine green (ICG), when administered intravenously the day prior to cranial surgery, is a re-purposed fluorophore that may afford safe, immediate visual confirmation of on-target tissue resection, thereby providing a valuable adjunct to intraoperative navigation and decreasing reliance on frozen pathology analysis. These first reported cases of SWIG for lymphoma in the CNS indicate that further study of fluorophores to improve biopsy targeting and yield is warranted.

Follicular tracking is typically conducted using ultrasound technology, but its effectiveness is constrained by limited resolution. High-resolution imaging of deep tissues can be accomplished using luminescence imaging in the near-infrared II window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm); however, the contrast agents that are used lack specificity. Here, it is reported that the FDA-approved indocyanine green (ICG)-conjugated recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) protein can target early follicles with long-term effectiveness.

imaging of the neurovascular network is considered to be one of the most powerful approaches for understanding brain functionality. Nevertheless, simultaneously imaging the biological neural network and blood vessels in deep brain layers in a non-invasive manner remains to a major challenge due to the lack of appropriate labeling fluorescence probe pairs. Herein, we proposed a 2-photon and 3-photon fluorescence probe pair for neurovascular imaging.

Accurate detection of tumor margins is essential for successful cancer surgery. While indocyanine green (ICG)-based near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) surgical navigation enhances the visual identification of tumor margins, its accuracy remains subjective, underscoring the need for quantitative approaches. In this study, a high spatiotemporal fluorescence lifetime (FLT) imaging technology is developed in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) for quantitative tumor margin detection, utilizing folate receptor-targeted ICG nanoprobes (FPH-ICG).

Article Synopsis
- Intraoperative real-time fluorescence navigation using indocyanine green (ICG) has been successfully used for various brain tumors but has not been explored for radiation-induced brain necrosis, which poses surgical challenges due to its diffuse nature.
- A study involved four patients with necrotic brain tissues, who received ICG before surgery; near-infrared fluorescence was used to locate the necrotic areas, providing a clear visual contrast during resection.
- The findings indicate that ICG fluorescence imaging effectively identified radiation-induced necrotic tissues during surgery, marking a significant advancement in surgical techniques for this condition.
Article Synopsis
- - A new method for portable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence microscopy is presented, designed to improve imaging of biological samples using the NIR-II window.
- - The integration of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) enhances the detection efficiency of the fluorescent dye indocyanine green (ICG), allowing for better imaging quality.
- - This technique yields high-resolution images and a better signal-to-noise ratio, which could significantly benefit future clinical studies in fluorescence microscopy.
