  • In patients undergoing vascular surgeries (e.g., bypass grafting), the use of intraoperative blood flow measurement has proven to be effective in reducing recurrence rate. This is made possible by Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography (FA), which is a camera-based method. Therefore an end-to-end workflow from the input of clinical video data to the output of quantitative flow values has been developed at the Institute. This project aims to analyze and improve this pipeline in terms of robustness in the transit time measurement.
