ICG was developed in the Second World War as a dye in photography.

 It was tested in 1957 at the Mayo Clinic for use in human medicine by I.J. Fox. 

 After being granted FDA approval in 1959, ICG was initially used primarily in hepatic function diagnostics and later in cardiology. 

 In 1964, S. Schilling was able to determine renal blood flow.

In 1969, ICG was also used in the research and diagnosis of subretinal processes in the eye (in the choroid).

 The use of ICG in medicine (and especially in fluorescent angiography in ophthalmology) has become established as standard.
