Recommended protocol for performing oral fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in children

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...

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...

Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography.

A method for fundus evaluation in children with oral fluorescein.

A procedure is described for the ophthalmoscopic examination of the fundus in children after 1% or 2% oral fluorescein ingestion without sedation or anaesthesia. No major complications or any allergic reactions were observed. In the ophthalmoscopically normal fundi of the five healthy children studied the fluorescence of the nerve head and retinal blood vessels could be visualised at 15 minutes...

Caption: Pyramidal neurons, light micrograph with Nissl staining. This sample, from a human brain, shows two pyramidal neurons. Pyramidal neurons (nerve cells) have a triangular cell body with dendrites leading from two of their corners and one long axon (bottom) extending from the other. The cell nuclei (round, dark) are visible here. Information from the dendrites is processed by the cell bod...
