Flap Viability Evaluation Using a Tissue Oximetry Camera as an Alternative to Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging

Summary:. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is useful for assessing flap viability; however, it is associated with a risk of anaphylactic shock, even in patients with no history of drug allergies. SnapshotNIR is a noncontact, camera-type handheld tissue oximeter that can measure the tissu...
