Fluorescein angiography (FA) is important in the diagnosis of chorioretinal diseases; however, it has some limitations. We conducted this study to evaluate whether digital indocyanine green (ICG) angiography can offer enhanced image in chorioretinal diseases.
Digital indocyanine green angiography with scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) was performed in 314 patients with various chorioretinal diseases. This coupled digital imaging system can offer instant images, process and store data by computer, and give convenient hardcopy generation.
The digital ICG angiography provided enhanced image resolution of the choroid compared with FA. The disease categories included choroidal neovascularization (CNV), choroidal tumor, inflammatory choroidal disease, ischemic choroidal disorder, idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy and retinal macroaneurysm.
ICG angiography is a useful adjunctive diagnostic technique to fluorescein angiography for various chorioretinal diseases. It is especially useful in the diagnosis of occult and recurrent CNV, as well as choroidal tumor and choroiditis. With greater clinical experience, ICG angiography is promising in giving additional clinical information for many other chorioretinal diseases.
荧光素血管造影(FA)在脉络膜视网膜疾病的诊断中很重要;然而,它有一些局限性。我们开展这项研究以评估数字吲哚菁绿(ICG)血管造影是否能在脉络膜视网膜疾病中提供增强的图像。
对314例患有各种脉络膜视网膜疾病的患者进行了使用扫描激光检眼镜(SLO)的数字吲哚菁绿血管造影。这种数字成像系统能够提供即时图像,通过计算机处理和存储数据,并方便地生成硬拷贝。
与FA相比,数字ICG血管造影提供了更高分辨率的脉络膜图像。疾病类别包括脉络膜新生血管(CNV)、脉络膜肿瘤、炎症性脉络膜疾病、缺血性脉络膜疾病、特发性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变和视网膜大动脉瘤。
ICG血管造影是荧光素血管造影用于各种脉络膜视网膜疾病的一种有用的辅助诊断技术。它在隐匿性和复发性CNV以及脉络膜肿瘤和脉络膜炎的诊断中特别有用。随着临床经验的增加,ICG血管造影有望为许多其他脉络膜视网膜疾病提供更多临床信息。
