Abstract

Abstract Indocyanine green is a tricarbocyanine dye, that is stable in human blood plasma and can be completely eliminated by liver in several days. Due to its properties it can be used to assess the metabolic liver function. We present optical densitometry device and theory for taking measurements of concentration of indocyanine green in patient’s blood in vivo.
