three-dimensional anaglyph indocyanine green video angiography: a new technology for cerebrovascular surgeries

Background and aim: indocyanine green (icg) angiography has become the standard of practice in many centers managing cerebrovascular diseases. though 3d stereoscopic recording of the surgeries has received widespread attention, there is a need for a technology to display and record realtime 3d icg angiographies. in this study, we designed and constructed an icg angiography camera to display the realtime 3d icg angiographies.methods and materials/patients: our project had three phases. in phase i, a handmade icg camera was designed and constructed in our laboratory. the second phase included creating a 3d camera to display realtime images in 3d anaglyph format. in the last phase, we developed a 3d icg camera to demonstrate 3d icg angiographies in realtime. results: we successfully completed all three phases of the project and could display realtime 3d icg angiography of a mouse mesenteric arteries, recorded it, and took pictures. conclusion: we proposed a method and proved its feasibility for producing a 3d icg angiography camera to be mounted on the next generation of neurosurgical microscopes.
