Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is a single center, open-label, two-part study to assess image guided surgery of intramolecular imaging in nervous system tumors. Subjects with a diagnosis of a resectable nervous system tumor who are at risk of recurrence are included. The primary goal is to observe what tissues fluoresce in the OR, and then to identify if that tissue is cancerous/tumor or normal when the histopathology is performed.

- description
- Subjects undergo indocyanine green injection within 72 hours prior to surgery. Permitting infusion time within 72 hours of operation is believed to be adequate for tissue glow/surgical visualization. Alternately, patients may receive 25 mg of indocyanine green during induction. Dose and time of administration will be determined by the neurosurgeon during surgical planning. This 25 mg dose of indocyanine green is similar to dosing for other intraoperative vascular visualization.
