How Indocyanine Green Injection works
After Indocyanine Green Injection is injected, it travels through blood to find proteins in plasma (a yellowish fluid in blood) and sticks to them. The areas that doctors are trying to view have these plasma proteins. Doctors then use special lenses and cameras to see ICG, which looks green in a certain light. Indocyanine Green Injection helps doctors clearly see which areas they need to treat.
