Intestinal perfusion assessed by quantitative fluorescence angiography in piglets with necrotizing enterocolitis

Study in premature piglets demonstrates quantitative fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green can reliably assess intestinal perfusion in NEC lesions during surgery. Researchers identified perfusion cut-off values distinguishing mild from severe NEC in both small intestine and colon, with high diagnostic accuracy (AUC 0.9).
