Fluorescein angiography

Fluorescein angiography
Definition
Fluorescein angiography is an eye test that uses a special dye and camera to look at blood flow in the retina and choroid, the two layers in the back of the eye.

Fluorescein angiography, or fluorescent angiography, is a technique for examining the circulation of the retina using the dye tracing method. It involves injection of sodium fluorescein into the systemic circulation, and then...

fluorescein angiography
A test involving the injection of a fluorescent dye into the arm. The dye travels up the arm and into the blood vessels in the eye, at which point it is viewed using a specialized camera.

fluorescein angiography - used to detect wet AMD, this diagnostic test involves a special dye injected into a vein in the arm.

Fluorescein angiography. This procedure takes a picture of the blood vessels in the eye. A fluorescent dye (called fluorescein) is injected into the patient's arm. The dye moves through the body and into the blood vessels in the back of the eye.

Fluorescein angiography
A special dye called flourescein is injected into a vein in the arm. In a few seconds the dye travels to the blood vessels inside the eye.

Fluorescein angiography: A test to examine blood vessels in the retina, choroid, and iris of the eye. A special dye is injected into a vein in the arm and pictures are taken as the dye passes through the blood vessels in the eye.

Fluorescein angiography displays early hypofluorescence and late hyperfluorescence of the active lesions. Inactive lesions may show window defects as a result of depigmentation of retinal pigment epithelium.

Fluorescein angiography
This procedure involves a special dye that is injected into the arm and an ophthalmologist photographing the retina as the dye passes through.

Fluorescein angiography: A procedure to look at blood vessels and the flow of blood inside the eye. An orange fluorescent dye (fluorescein) is injected into a blood vessel in the arm.

Fluorescein angiography: A special dye is injected into your arm. Then, your ophthalmologist photographs your retina as the dye passes through the retina. This test determines if laser treatment is necessary and, if so, the location of the treatment.

Fluorescein angiography.
In this procedure, a dye is injected into your arm and travels to the retina. A special camera takes pictures of your retina as the dye passes through it.

Fluorescein angiography, where a dye is injected into the patient and the back of the eyes are viewed and photographed, helps to locate leaky vessels.

A dye may be injected intravenously and examined under illumination to determine effects on blood circulation (fluorescein angiography).

Typical features of the tumor on ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, and ultrasound examination of the eye contribute to the clinical diagnosis.

In a procedure called fluorescein angiography, your doctor injects a yellow dye into a vein in your arm.

Fluorescein angiography. A dye is injected (usually into your arm). The dye will then pass to and move through the blood vessels at the back of your eye and photographs can be taken with a camera to look at the blood flow to your retina.

If wet AMD is suspected, your doctor may order a test called fluorescein angiography, which helps determine if leaking blood vessels in the macula can be treated. There is no cure for AMD, and currently no treatment for dry AMD.

This may be coupled with a fundus fluorescein angiography, a test done to assess the extent and type of changes in the retina and its blood vessels.

Mayo Clinic uses the latest technology to diagnose AMD, including imaging tests such as fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).
