Fluorescein & Indocyanine Green Angiography for Uveitis
نویسنده
چکیده
In recent years enormous progress has been achieved in investigational procedures for uveitis. One field where these advances are most patent is imaging with the occurence of new methods such as indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to cite only the most important. This tremendous increase in precision and accuracy in the assessment of the level and degree of inflammation and its monitoring comes in paprallel with the development of extremely potent and efficacious therapies. In view of these developments, our whole attitude in the appraisal and investigation of the uveitis patient have to be adapted and correctly reoriented integrating the recent developments and this is no different for ocular angiography.
