The fluorescein is administered intravenously in intravenous fluorescein angiography (IVFA) and orally in oral fluorescein angiography (OFA). The test is a dye tracing method. The fluorescein dye also reappears in the patient urine, causing the urine to appear darker, and sometimes orange. [2] It can also cause discolouration of the saliva.
The diagnosis is mainly clinical, however fundus fluorescein angiography shows that the streaks appear hyperfluorescent (window defect) in the early phase. [1] Indocyanine green angiography can also be used for diagnosing angioid streaks and their associated ocular pathologies. [6]
Using this method a sequence of photographs can be produced that show the movement, and pooling of blood over time (“Phases”) as the dye passes through the retina and choroid. [14] Sodium Fluorescein Angiography (abbreviated SFA, FA or FAG) is used for the imaging of retinal vascular disease and utilises blue excitation light of ~490 nm and ...
PCV may be diagnosed during a routine dilated fundus examination by an ophthalmologist. [2] Fluorescein angiography, Indocyanine green angiography and Optical coherence tomography is also used to diagnose PCV. [2] Since it gives better imaging of choroidal structures, ICGA is more preferred. [3]
Fluorescein drops being instilled for an eye examination. Intravenous or oral fluorescein is used in fluorescein angiography in research and to diagnose and categorize vascular disorders including retinal disease, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, inflammatory intraocular conditions, and intraocular tumors.
The current gold standards of angiography, fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), both require dye to be injected. [46] [47] OCTA does not need dye but is susceptible to motion artefacts.
Subretinal hemorrhages are diagnosed with a slit lamp examination of the anterior segment, dilated fundus examination, and intraocular pressure measurement. OCT, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and fundus photography are helpful to determine the location and depth of the hemorrhage. One should suspect abusive head trauma if a child ...
Fluorescein angiogram of a person with central retinal artery occlusion Ocular coherence tomogram (OCT) of a person with central retinal artery occlusion. One diagnostic method for the confirmation of CRAO is Fluorescein angiography, it is used to examine the retinal artery filling time after the fluorescein dye is injected into the peripheral venous system.
