متن کاملTranspupillary Thermotherapy: a Developing Approach in the Treatment of Occult Subfoveal Choroidal Membranes during Age-related Macular Degenera- Tion
Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) of choroidal neovascularization is a developing treatment modality. It uses large spot size, low irradiance and long exposure times with infrared laser to deliver hyperthermia to the choroid and retinal pigment epithelium. TTT has been originally used in the treatment of ocular tumors such as choroidal melanoma and choroidal hemangioma. Histologic studies show...
