NIR ICG-Enhanced Fluorescence: A Quantitative Evaluation of Bowel Microperfusion and Its Relation to Central Perfusion in Colorectal Surgery
Background: To date, no standardized protocols nor a quantitative assessment of the near-infrared fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) are available. The aim of this study was to evaluate the timing of fluorescence as a reproducible parameter and its efficacy in predicting anastomotic leakage (AL) in colorectal surgery. Methods: A consecutive cohort of 108 patients undergoing minimally invasive elective procedures for colorectal cancer was prospectively enrolled. The difference between macro and microperfusion DeltaT was obtained by calculating the timing of fluorescence at the level of iliac artery division and colonic wall, respectively. Results: Subjects with a DeltaT higher 15.5 s had a higher tendency to develop an AL (p lower 0.01). The DeltaT/heart rate interaction was found to predict AL with an odds ratio of 1.02 (p lower 0.01); a cut-off threshold of 832 was identified (sensitivity 0.86, specificity 0.77). Perfusion parameters were also associated with a faster bowel motility resumption and a reduced length of hospital stay. Conclusions: The analysis of the timing of fluorescence provides a quantitative, easy evaluation of tissue perfusion. A DeltaT/HR interaction higher 832 may be used as a real-time parameter to guide surgical decision making in colorectal surgery.

Towards Objective Gastrointestinal Auscultation: Automated Segmentation and Annotation of Bowel Sound Patterns
Bowel sounds (BS) are typically momentary and have low amplitude, making them difficult to detect accurately through manual auscultation. This leads to significant variability in clinical assessment. Digital acoustic sen…
Fluorescence Reference Target Quantitative Analysis Library
Standardized performance evaluation of fluorescence imaging systems remains a critical unmet need in the field of fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS). While the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) TG311 r…
BenchmarkingA Graph-theoretic Algorithm for Small Bowel Path Tracking in CT Scans
We present a novel graph-theoretic method for small bowel path tracking. It is formulated as finding the minimum cost path between given start and end nodes on a graph that is constructed based on the bowel wall detectio…
