Preferred Label : Indocyanine Green Solution;
NCIt synonyms : ICG Solution;
NCIt definition : A sterile solution of a nontoxic tricarbocyanine dye with a peak spectral absorption
at 790 nm, with application in determining cardiac output, hepatic function, liver
blood flow, as well as ophthalmic angiography. Designed to be administered intravenously,
indocyanine green solution (ICG) contains less than 5% sodium iodide. Upon intravenous
injection, ICG rapidly binds to its principle carrier, plasma protein, and is thereby
confined to the vascular space. This agent, with a half-life of 150 to 180 seconds,
is removed exclusively by the liver from circulation to bile juice. Furthermore, due
to poor uptake, ICG is not suitable for angiography or functional output analysis
of kidney, lung, cerebro-spinal, or peripheral tissues.;
