A non-invasive liver function monitoring system, the LiMON®, has been developed that measures indocyanine green (ICG) elimination by pulse spectrophotometry. The aim was to assess the relationship between pre and post-operative ICG plasma disappearance rate (ICG PDR %/min) values and the onset of post-hepatectomy liver dysfunction.
