A dual-center study involving 69 patients demonstrated that near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRF) combined with Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasound (SCEUS) significantly improves the detection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) during laparoscopic surgery. NIRF+SCEUS identified 285 lesions, outpacing the 234 detected by white light and intraoperative ultrasound. Notably, this approach changed the surgical strategy for 40.6% of patients without increasing postoperative complications or mortality, showcasing its effectiveness in enhancing surgical outcomes.
