BACKGROUND The simultaneous recording of indocyanine green and fluorescein angiography is since more than twenty years possible. The real-time digital recording of angiograms is about since 10 years possible. Because of the poor temporal resolution due to technical limitations, both of the above methods were only seldom used routinely. Graphics workstations can digitize and store multiple video...

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 ass...

Background and purpose: A likely explanation for the increase in lens fluorescence with aging and the acceleration of this process in patients with diabetes, is that lens proteins are altered by non-enzymatic glycosylation and the further steps of the Maillard reaction. Thus, the lens fluorescence intensity appears to represent a cumulative index of glycemia over the entire lifetime of the subj...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and associated clinical factors of delayed absorption of subretinal fluid (SRF) after surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. METHODS This study involved 36 eyes of 36 consecutive patients who underwent successful surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. A complete ophthalmologic evaluation, including clinical fundus ...

The benefits of laser-assisted indocyanine green fluorescence angiography have previously been demonstrated in cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the value of this technology in microsurgical breast reconstruction. Intraoperative laser-assisted indocyanine green fluorescence angiography was performed on all microsurgical breast reconstruction cases (deep inferior epigas...

Objectives: Indocyanine green angiography is a useful intraoperative tool to assess flap survivability that has been successfully applied in many areas of reconstructive surgery. Herein, we describe the first application of indocyanine green angiography in assessing the viability of a supraclavicular artery island flap (SCAIF) with the goal of demonstrating its usefulness in preventing major po...

corneal new vessels can result in significant loss of vision as well as reduce graft survival. Recently, newer treatment modalities have been introduced. however, attempts to meet the challenge of evaluating corneal vessels by quantification are evolving. In vivo evaluations range from computer-aided analysis of colour images to determination of area, diameter and tortuousity of blood vessels o...
