With the continuous advancement of computer and medical tech­nology, as well as the further research and development of medical 3D image visualization reconstruction software and virtual surgery systems, this advanced multidisciplinary technology will play a more signicant role in clinical appli­cation, and become an indispensable tool assisting liver sur­geons (Resource 6.1).

7.1 Introduction

Molecular imaging (MI) is a comprehensive interdisciplin­ary subject that is the product of the combination of medical imaging technology and modern molecular biology. It involves the qualitative and quantitative study of organisms invivo at the cellular and molecular levels through imaging technology and methods. Through MI, various pathophysiological processes in the body at the cellular or subcellular levels can be reected and identied. Compared with the current clinical imaging studies of the human form from the morphological and structural aspects, molecular imaging focuses on revealing the occurrence and develop­ment process of diseases at the level of biochemical and intracellular pathways. Optical imaging, as an essential com­ponent and living force of molecular imaging, combines high sensitivity with no ionizing radiation. It can detect the optical signals emitted by endogenous or exogenous contrast agents and present to the observer the coding information of the biochemistry process invivo carried by the signal.
In recent years, with continuous expansion of molecular uorescence imaging technology in surgical applications, indocyanine green (ICG), as a tracer or contrast agent, has shown considerable application prospects. This chapter introduces the application of ICG uorescent imaging in the accurate diagnosis and management of biliary surgery in recent years.
ICG is a near-infrared uorescent dye, which can be excited at wavelengths of 750–810nm and emits uorescence that peaks at about 840 nm (Jonak et al. 2011; Landsman et al. 1976). In this spectral region, the near-infrared light emits a uorescent signal with a penetration depth of 5–10mm due to the low absorption of hemoglobin or water; moreover, this region can be detected by an imaging device that is sensitive to infrared light and has a suitable lter

(Morita etal. 2013). Notably, ICG has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) for human use. As a medical imaging medium, it has been used in humans for over 50years. Because the near-infrared light has more sub­stantial penetrating power than other light bands, ICG has a critical advantage as the optical imaging medium of human body tissue. In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in the application of ICG uorescent imaging tech­nology in surgery; however, it can only be used as a tracer or contrast agent. The application of ICG uorescence imaging in hepatobiliary surgery has been rapidly expanding since Ishizawa rst reported the use of ICG uorescent imaging in hepatocellular surgery (Ishizawa etal. 2009).
Congenital anatomical variations of the extrahepatic bili­ary system are common. The surgeon’s misidentication or improper management of these variations may lead to disas­trous adverse events, such as bile duct injury. Therefore, variations in the anatomy of the bile duct should be recog­nized in each operation. Near-infrared uorescence imaging has received widespread attention. As ICG is introduced into the human body via intravenous administration, it can be selectively absorbed by hepatocytes and excreted into bile in a free form (Osayi etal. 2015). It will pass into the common bile duct and gallbladder through each level of the bile duct, and nally be discharged into the duodenum. Light is applied around the peak absorption wavelengths (750–810 nm) exciting the ICG molecules which then return to their unex­cited state by emitting light around 850nm. Then, the emit­ted light signal is captured by the imaging system and processed to form the uorescence image of extrahepatic bile ducts. Surgeons can grasp the intraoperative conditions in real time and provide substantive guidance and assistance for operation.
At present, preoperative medical imaging techniques for the biliary tract mainly include MRCP, CT, and direct chol­angiography. Through these imaging techniques, surgeons can preliminarily understand the anatomy and pathology of the biliary tract and determine the operation method.

However, it is difcult to identify the bile ducts, to decrease the risk of bile duct injury intraoperatively, when there are adhesion, inammation, and reoperation. Intraoperative cholangiography has been considered as a reliable prophy­lactic technique; however, it has not been supported by cost­effectiveness analysis. The question about selective intraoperative cholangiography is that it lacks clear imple­mentation standards, and also, the biliary tract injury may have already occurred when surgeons are faced with difcul­ties in preparing for cholangiography. Intraoperative cholan­giography also has the following drawbacks:
• It is an invasive examination, which requires puncture of the cystic duct or injection of contrast medium via the end of the cystic duct.
• The operation is complicated, which requires highly qual­ied radiology technicians to operate, and there is a risk of radiation exposure.
• Iodine may lead to the risk of an allergic reaction. According to the statistics, allergic reactions to high­osmolar ionic contrast occur between 4% and 12%, while such reactions present in about 0.7% to 3% of patients with low-osmolar nonionic contrast (Trcka etal. 2008; Lieberman and Seigle 1999). It is estimated that severe anaphylaxis occurs in 0.1% to 0.4% with ionic contrast agents and 0.02% to 0.04% with nonionic contrast agents (Trcka etal. 2008; Caro etal. 1991).
• There is a risk of bile duct injury. Severe inammation of the cystic duct and common bile duct is a precipitating event that will result in rupture of the cystic duct or perforation of the common bile duct when a catheter is inserted into the common bile duct.
• There is a certain failure rate of angiography.
By contrast, the prominent advantages of ICG uores-
cence imaging are obvious: real-time imaging with high specicity and sensitivity; non-invasiveness; cost-effective; safety (radiation-free); ease of use, minimal learning curve (Pesce etal. 2015).
7.2 ICG Fluorescence Imaging
inPreventing Bile Duct Injury inLaparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been considered the gold standard for gallbladder diseases. As a classic minimally invasive surgical technique, LC has the advantages of less pain, shorter hospitalization time, and faster recovery. However, as LC was gaining popularity, the tendency of bile duct injury increased. Statistical analyses show that the incidence of bile duct injury in LC ranges between 0.3% and
1.4% (Abbasoğlu etal. 2016). The main manifestations of
bile duct injuries include bile duct stricture, biliary leakage, and transection or clipping of the bile duct. Though some of the bile duct injuries are attributed to the “learning curve” in the theatre of operation, the primary cause of these injuries is misinterpretation of biliary anatomy, which accounts for 71%–97% (Way et al. 2003). To avoid such tragic errors, surgeons have been developing and introducing techniques that can directly display the location and course of extrahepatic bile ducts. Intraoperative cholangiography has been considered as a reliable tool for preventing bile duct injury during surgery. However, it is not recommended for routine use due to certain limitations in its implementation. In recent years, various intraoperative navigation techniques such as ICG-mediated near-infrared uorescence cholangiography, which can display the extrahepatic biliary system in real-time, have been widely used in surgery (Dip etal. 2014). Because of the uorescent property of ICG and its biliary excretion properties, the emitted light intensity within the bile duct allows real-time enhanced visualization of the course of the extrahepatic bile duct, which can greatly increase the safety of the procedure by minimizing the incidence of intraoperative inadvertent bile duct injury. Normal anatomy of the biliary tract can be altered due to anatomic variations of extrahepatic bile ducts or local lesions in the Calot’s triangle. Variations of the hepatobiliary vasculature include the cystic duct, right hepatic duct, common bile duct, cystic artery, and right hepatic artery. 85% of the aberrant anatomy is observed within Calot’s triangle (Sanjay etal. 2012). Anatomical variation is reported as a contributing risk factor for bile duct injury in LC.The main reasons leading to misinterpretation are as follows:
• The operating surgeon is not familiar with surgical anat­omy under laparoscope and is not careful in identifying the anatomical area of the Calot’s triangle.
• Improper gallbladder traction. Excessive or insufcient traction will lead to changes in the relationship between the “tree tubes,” resulting in bile duct misidentication. With an incarcerated gallbladder neck stone and thin common bile duct, the excessive upward traction of the gallbladder may lead to the displacement of the common bile duct and bile duct injury.
• The change of anatomical position under laparoscope after the rotation of the lens may result in misidentication.
• Anatomical and pathological factors: Congenital anatom­ical variation or displacement of the bile duct due to repeated inammation and adhesion in the Calot’s trian­gle may lead to unclear dissection.
Therefore, the key to prevent extrahepatic biliary injuries
is to detect the anatomical variations of the extrahepatic bile ducts and identify the position of the bile ducts (Fig.7.1). Preoperative MRCP and intraoperative cholangiography

can better display the biliary anatomy and aid timely detec­tion of biliary tract variations. Although MRCP can help biliary surgeons to understand the anatomy of the biliary tract sensitively before operation, it cannot be used as a real­time guide during operation. Studies showed that the use of intraoperative direct cholangiography can reduce the risk of bile duct injury from 0.58% to 0.39% (Flum etal. 2003). However, the advantages of cholangiography in conven­tional surgery have been questioned. ICG near-infrared molecular uorescence can better display the biliary tract after intravenous injection. Due to its relatively poor pene­tration into surrounding tissues, it can enhance the display of the extrahepatic biliary tract, especially the Calot’s tri­angle (Fig. 7.2). Through ICG uorescence imaging, the
anatomy and variations of the bile duct, cystic duct, com­mon bile duct, and common hepatic duct can be observed. After dissociating the tissues around the vasculature, the anatomical structure of the extrahepatic bile duct can be clearly developed by ICG near-infrared uorescence. At this time, transection of the cystic duct is safer (Fig.7.3), which provides real-time guidance for beginners or inexperienced physicians. For patients whose normal anatomical structure has changed signicantly after repeated biliary tract surgery or whose anatomy is difcult to distinguish, ICG uores­cence imaging can provide real-time intraoperative bile duct imaging to help doctors locate the bile duct, avoid inadver­tent injury, and guide surgical treatment in real time (Figs.7.4 and 7.5).
