26.1 Introduction
The evaluation of retinal disorders and retinal
imaging has evolved from using crude instruments in fundoscopy to dye-based imaging
techniques. At present, high-resolution imaging
of retinal and choroidal vessels is possible with
modern, high-quality fundus cameras, digital
imaging, and photographic lters. Fluorescein
angiography (FA) is an efcient tool for evaluating retinal circulation, and indocyanine green
angiography (ICGA) offers a more precise resolution of the choroidal circulation. In this
chapter, we will highlight the basics of retinal
imaging, equipment, techniques of FA and
ICGA, image analysis, and their clinical
implications.

26.2 Fundus Fluorescein
Angiography
26.2.1 History
In 1954, Edward Maumenee used fluorescein
dye intravenously to study ocular vasculature
in choroidal hemangiomas with a Goldmann
slit lamp, contact lens, and a cobalt blue filter.
Later, Chao and Flocks gave the earliest
description of fluorescein angiography (FA) in
1958 by studying its circulation time in cats
[1]. Novotny and Alvis (1961) gave a detailed
description of the fundus camera used for FA
with the filter details and technique of FA that
remains relatively unchanged to date [2].
Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) was
initially developed for cardiologists for the
measurement of cardiac output accurately
(Kodak Research Laboratories) [3], and in
1972, Flower and Hochheimer were the first to
use intravenous ICGA to visualize the human
choroid [4]. Yannuzzi and colleagues demonstrated a 1024-line resolution system that was
synthesized with the proper flash synchronization and image- storing capability for high-resolution, long- duration ICGA [5]. Advances in
developing high-quality photography equipment, photographic filters, newer printing
techniques, and digital imaging can now generate high-resolution retina and choroid
angiography.

26.2.2 Technology
26.2.2.1 Basic Principle
The emission of light from any source other than
a high-temperature source is called luminescence. When a luminescent material absorbs light
energy, a few electrons are elevated into a higher
energy state. These electrons decay spontaneously into lower energy states by emitting an
equivalent amount of energy as light. When this
emitted energy is within the visible light spectrum (400–700 nm), it is called luminescence.
Fluorescence is a type of luminescence that is
maintained only by continuous excitation.
Phosphorescence is a type of luminescence that
emits light even after the excitation is stopped. In
uorescence, excitation occurs at one wavelength, and emission occurs through a longer
wavelength [6, 7].
26.2.2.2 Sodium Fluorescein
Sodium uorescein is an orange-red crystalline
hydrocarbon with a molecular weight of 376.27
Daltons. It is a water-soluble dye; the liver and
kidney eliminate it within 24–36 h [7]. During
FA, intravenously injected Sodium uorescein
(Na Fl) remains 80% bound to proteins, and the
remaining 20% circulates freely in the bloodstream. The unbound dye has an excitation peak
in the blue range of the visible spectrum with
peak absorption at 465–490nm. In a ash-based
fundus camera, a blue excitation lter allows
only the blue light to enter the retina and absorbs
all other light. Fluorescein in the bloodstream,
excited by blue light, emits green-yellow light at
520–530nm. A barrier lter placed in front of the
lm allows only green-yellow light to be captured electronically as a digital image and lters
out the blue excitation light [6].
has a shorter learning curve. A digital camera
captures a single image of the retina using ashlight illumination and captures true-color images
of the retina.
26.2.2.4 Stereo Photography
Stereo photography allows in-depth stereoscopic
interpretation of images of both eyes simultaneously taken from slightly different angles [8]. A
slight change in angle causes the illuminating
beam of the fundus camera to pass through the
opposite slopes of the cornea. This results in
cornea- induced parallax that gives a hyperstereoscopic effect (see Chap. 25 for further
details) [9].
26.2.2.5 Camera andAncillary
Equipment
Filters: The exciter lter transmits blue light at
465–490 nm (absorption peak of uorescein),
and the barrier lter transmits light at 525–
530nm (emitted peak of uorescein) (Fig.26.1).
Newer digital fundus cameras use high-sensitivity monochrome sensors with excitation (580nm)
and barrier lters (695nm) of longer wavelengths
to overcome lens autouorescence [7, 10].
The eld of view in wide eld imaging (WFI)
is beyond 60–100°. The eld of view in ultrawide eld imaging (UWFI) is up to 200° and can
image over 80% of the retinal surface (see Chap.
25 for further details).
26.2.2.6 Confocal Scanning Laser
Ophthalmoscope
The confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope
(cSLO) can be used for several retinal imaging
modalities, such as FA, ICGA, and fundus autouorescence (FAF). Refer to Chap. 25 for further
details.
26.2.2.3 Imaging
Digital imaging has replaced traditional lmbased imaging and is commonly used in FA. It
offers multiple advantages, such as higher image
resolution, ease of analysis, better storage, and
instant access to images. It also aids in image
reproducibility, image export for telemedicine,
and better patient education. Digital imaging also

peripheral retina. The primary eye to be examined should be correctly identied and positioned
for proper alignment, focus, and comfort. The FA
tray (Table26.1) should be kept ready. Color fundus photographs and monochromatic red-free lter images are obtained before the dye is
administered. Before injecting the dye, the angiographer should pre-focus the area of interest. A
bolus injection of the dye is administered into the
upper limb vein via a small gauge scalp vein needle or intravenous catheter (Fig.26.2). The angiographer should start the timer as soon as the dye
is injected and begin capturing images immediately thereafter to capture the choroidal ush and
early arteriovenous phase (every 1–2 s in the
early phase). The arm-to-retina circulation time
is usually 10–12s in normal individuals and up to
20s in older individuals. During the early phase,

images of only one eye can be captured.
Photographs of other parts of the retina in the primary and fellow eyes are obtained as soon as the
early phase is complete. The examiner should use
his/her judgment to follow a particular order in
capturing various areas of interest as required in
the specic case. At the end of the procedure, the
patient should be re-informed that his/her urine
and skin may have orange discoloration due to
the dye. Na Fl may be administered orally at
25mg/kg body weight in children with difcult
IV access. Fundus images are captured 40–60min
after dye ingestion, but the quality of images is
generally suboptimal [11].
26.2.3.2 Side Eects
andComplications
Mild side effects of Na Fl dye usage are nausea,
vomiting, and minimal extravasation of the dye;
generally, these subside with time without any
specic treatment. Moderate side effects include
pruritis, urticaria, syncope, thrombophlebitis,
pyrexia, and local tissue necrosis; these require
medical intervention, and patients usually recover
well. Severe adverse reactions include anaphylaxis, shock, laryngeal edema, bronchospasm,
myocardial infarction, and convulsions; these
require intensive treatment. Very few cases of
death have been reported, with an estimated risk
of death of less than 1in 220,000 [12].
26.2.3.3 Contraindications
An absolute contraindication for FA is a known
allergy or a history of severe adverse reactions
during previous uorescein dye injection. The
dye can be used cautiously in advanced renal
failure patients on regular dialysis, and the dose
of uorescein injection can be reduced to half.
Intradermal testing of diluted Na Fl can be done
in selected cases [7]. The presence of heart disease, arrhythmias, or cardiac pacemakers are not
contraindications. No fetal complications from
uorescein injection during pregnancy have been
reported yet. However, it is generally best to
avoid angiography in pregnant women, especially in the rst trimester. Fluorescein dye has
been detected for up to 72h in breastmilk after IV
administration. To limit neonatal exposure, the
US Food and Drug Administration suggests that
nursing mothers should “pump-and-dump” the
breastmilk for at least 96 h after uorescein dye
injection [13].

macula devoid of any retinal capillaries.
26.2.4.1 Basic Anatomical
Considerations
The ophthalmic artery divides into two main
branches of posterior ciliary arteries: the lateral
and medial, which supply the lateral and medial
portions of the disc and choroid. A vertical zone of
slightly delayed lling may be seen during angiography, which traverses the disc and the papillomacular area. This zone demarcates the border
between the two main posterior ciliary arteries. It
26.2.4.2 Normal Fluorescein
Angiography
FA is a serial analysis of the vascular structure of
the choroid and retina over specic time intervals. Fluorescein dye enters the ocular circulation
through the short posterior ciliary arteries, which
supply the choroid, and the central retinal artery
that supplies the retina.
The six phases of FA are listed in Table26.2.
is called the “watershed zone,” and patchy choroidal lling is often seen during FA within this zone.
The ciliary arteries supply most of the disc; thus,
uorescein is rst seen at the optic nerve head and
the choroid before it is seen in the retinal artery
system. The choriocapillaris has a lobular arrangement and demonstrates patchy lling in a transverse manner, with one lobule spilling over into

Abnormal uorescence [7, 14] is primarily of
two types: hypouorescence and hyperuorescence. Hypouorescence is a reduction/absence
of normal uorescence, and hyperuorescence
means increased uorescence.

caused by blocked uorescence or a vascu-
beginning to empty. Pooling can be seen temporal to the
macula due to a pigment epithelial detachment
