Exclusion Criteria:
Pregnant women as determined by urinary or serum beta hCG within 72 hours of surgery Subjects with a history of iodide allergies Vulnerable patient populations Patients unable to participate in the consent process (children and neonates) Patients with non-MRI compatible implanted metallic foreign bodies Patients who due to severe claustrophobia cannot tolerate MRI scanning Patients with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to MRI contrast agents including gadolinium

Subjects undergo indocyanine green injection within 72 hours prior to surgery. Permitting infusion time within 72 hours of operation is believed to be adequate for tissue glow/surgical visualization. Alternately, patients may receive 25 mg of indocyanine green during induction. Dose and time of administration will be determined by the neurosurgeon during surgical planning. This 25 mg dose of indocyanine green is similar to dosing for other intraoperative vascular visualization.
