FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY

Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography Fluorescein angiography

Fluorescein angiography is a clinical diagnostic test procedure in which rapid-sequence photography is performed after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein. The procedure allows the documentation of the retinal circulation. Of equal importance is the ability of the angiogram to outline the entire retinal vascular bed. Previous clinical methods of examination of the fundus enabled the phy...

Fluorescein Angiography Authors:

Introduction Fluorescein angiography (FA) was introduced in ophthalmology by Novotny and Alvis in the sixties of the last century. They took serial fundus photographs after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein to study the retinal and choroidal circulation(1). Initially, they used this technique in diabetic and hypertensive patients and after, the technique was used in age-related macula...

both the computational and the medical side of these concerns began to develop mutual interests and approaches, and to form coherent col-laborative research [1]. One of the first uses of artificial intelligence (AI) on a practical level was the coupling of expert medical knowledge with computer-based technology. As early as the 1960s, computer scientists and physicians recognized the possibilit...

Fluorescein angiography of the anterior segment.

In conjunctival and corneal diseases, invasion of the corneal substance by vessels is often the forerunner of more serious disease. The study of vessels in detail is of importance in the assessment of such disease processes and, in particular, in following their natural history and response to treatment. Reports of fluorescein angiography of the anterior segment have generally concerned the mic...
