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 efcient 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 465–490nm. 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 520–530nm. 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 andAncillary
Equipment
Filters: The exciter lter transmits blue light at 465–490 nm (absorption peak of uorescein), and the barrier lter transmits light at 525– 530nm (emitted peak of uorescein) (Fig.26.1). Newer digital fundus cameras use high-sensitiv­ity monochrome sensors with excitation (580nm) and barrier lters (695nm) of longer wavelengths to overcome lens autouorescence [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 auto­uorescence (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 identied and positioned for proper alignment, focus, and comfort. The FA tray (Table26.1) 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 10–12s in normal individuals and up to 20s 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 specic 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 25mg/kg body weight in children with difcult IV access. Fundus images are captured 40–60min after dye ingestion, but the quality of images is generally suboptimal [11].
26.2.3.2 Side Eects andComplications
Mild side effects of Na Fl dye usage are nausea, vomiting, and minimal extravasation of the dye; generally, these subside with time without any specic 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 1in 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 72h 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].

the other. The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) is 400– 500μm in diameter and represents the area of the 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 specic 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 Table26.2. 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

The dye in the posterior ciliary vascular system uoresces both from the edge of the disc and the tissue between the center and circumference of the disc. Numerous capillaries of the central retinal artery on the surface of the disc ll up, making the disc hyperuorescent on the angiogram

26.2.4.3 Abnormal Fluorescence Angiography
Abnormal uorescence [7, 14] is primarily of two types: hypouorescence and hyperuores­cence. Hypouorescence is a reduction/absence of normal uorescence, and hyperuorescence means increased uorescence.
