ULTRA–WIDE-FIELD IMAGING AND INTRAVENOUS FUNDUS FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY IN INFANTS WITH RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY

Fundus fluorescein angiography in retinopathy of prematurity.

In this issue of the Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, Ng, Lanigan, and O’Keefe present their findings regarding fundus fluorescein angiography in the management and screening of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Recently, there has been interest in photographic documentation of ROP in hospitals lacking sufficient ophthalmologic staff. Images created in the intensive care nursery...

Ultrawide-field Fluorescein Angiography for Evaluation of Diabetic Retinopathy

PURPOSE To investigate the advantages of ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography (FA) over the standard fundus examination in the evaluation of diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS Ultrawide-field FAs were obtained in 118 eyes of 59 diabetic patients; 11 eyes with no DR, 71 eyes with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), and 36 eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), diagnos...

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...
