Spectroscopic approach with fluorescence time resolution allows one to determine the state of a brain tumor and its microenvironment via changes in the fluorescent dye’s fluorescence lifetime. Indocyanine green (ICG) is an acknowledged infra-red fluorescent dye that self-assembles into stable aggregate forms (ICG NPs). ICG NPs aggregates have a tendency to accumulate in the tumor with a maximum accumulation at 24 h after systemic administration, enabling extended intraoperative diagnostic. Fluorescence lifetime analysis of ICG and ICG NPs demonstrates different values for ICG monomers and H-aggregates, indicating promising suitability for fluorescent diagnostics of brain tumors due to their affinity to tumor cells and stability in biological tissue.

A new fiber-optic-based fluorescence lifetime instrument is described which is useful for the study of complex fluorescence decay kinetics. The new instrument consists of a multifrequency phase fluorometer coupled to a fiber-optic probe. To demonstrate the power of the new instrument, we show results for the unequivocal resolution of single, double, and triple exponential decays of fluorescence. In addition, spectral coverage in the ultraviolet and visible regions is possible, and lifetimes from approximately 200 ns to 150 ps are easily determined for samples as dilute as 0.1 μM.
