Techniques of recording. The pupils are well dilated and the patient sits in front of the camera with one arm outstretched. Twenty-five milligrams of ICG [indocyanine green] dye is dissolved in 0.5 ml [millilitres] of the manufacturers aqueous solvent and given intravenously as a bolus followed by a 5 ml physiological saline solution flush. The flush eliminates the need for image intensification. Preferably 10 images should be obtained starting immediately after injection and lasting the first 30 seconds. ... The ICG angiograms may be recorded either by using a modified conventional fundus camera or scanning laser ophthalmoscope.

angiogram: An x-ray or computer image ... of the blood vessels and blood flow in the body.

Angiograms are taken after the injection of a dye in the patient's arm to enhance the appearance of blood vessels, under a specific illumination and filter. The dye has an absorption peak, which determines the illumination light, and an emission peak, which determines the filter that retains only the fluorescent contribution. ... Images are acquired from 10 [seconds] to 15 [minutes] after the injection while the dye circulates through the retinal arteries, capillaries, veins, and is eliminated from the vasculature, while staining in the optic disc and lesions. ... Fluorescein angiograms ... are useful in detecting leaks and other abnormalities in arteries and veins. They allow the detection of occluded and leaking capillaries, microaneurisms, macular edema, and neovascularization.

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive technique that can detect blood flow signal in retinal and choroidal vessels using motion contrast. It compares the decorrelation signal (differences in the backscattered OCT [optical coherence tomography] signal intensity) between sequential OCT B-scans taken at the same cross-section; thus, yielding maps of vascular flow. ... Numerous studies described how to automatically detect and classify retinal disorders (e.g., diabetic retinopathy [DR]). However, most of them relied on fundus images rather than on OCT images or OCT angiograms. Recent development in OCTA induced attempts to use advanced image processing in order to extract quantitative information that characterizes the vascular network in the retina from the angiograms.

Fluorescein angiography and digital image analysis. All patients were subjected to fluorescein angiography of the right eye preoperatively. Retinal angiography was also performed CPB [cardiopulmonary bypass], [five] minutes before the bypass period ... Retinal angiograms were assessed first by direct inspection of the whole 30-degree field of the retina shown on the angiogram after back projection onto a screen and second by digital image analysis ...

CT angiography is a type of medical exam that combines a CT scan with an injection of a contrast media to produce pictures of blood vessels and tissues in a part of your body. The contrast is injected through an intravenous (IV) line started in your arm or hand.

L'angioscanner est un examen uniquement dédié à l'étude des vaisseaux. L'angiographie par tomodensitométrie recherche les lésions vasculaires et/ou fournit une cartographie des vaisseaux en vue de la planification d'un traitement. L'angioscanner est un examen minimalement invasif puisqu'il ne nécessite qu'une ponction veineuse et l'injection de produit de contraste iodé.
