Although preoperative simulation has become essential in liver resection, it cannot follow the movement and deformation of the liver during surgery. The indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence method can provide useful, real-time information for liver area visualization and liver tumor identification but cannot be used continuously with conventional equipment. We applied the technology of projection mapping and developed a medical imaging projection system (MIPS) that projects ICG fluorescence images directly to a patient’s organ. We expect that ICG fluorescence and intraoperative navigation will enter a new era as applications of the MIPS are expanded to surgery in other organs in the future.
