Abstract:
A novel fundus angiographic application and method using fluorescein isothiocyanate dextrans (FITC-dextran) as fluorescence angiographic dye for diagnosis and evaluation of eye diseases on humans is disclosed. The method involves the process of constitution of FITC-dextran solution and intravenous injection of the said solution, followed by observation and photography of ocular fundus circulation using a fluorescence fundus camera with an image system. The invention offers improved fundus angiograms over the traditional Na-fluorescein fundus angiography (Na-fluorescein) and indocyanine green fundus angiography (ICG) with the advantages of higher clarity and higher resolution; capable of visualizing both the retinal and the choroidal circulations systems simultaneously; providing longer fundus image duration so that it can be used as a directly mapping guidance in retinal surgery or to complete the angiograms for both eyes by a single process; providing more information about the pathological changes occurred among retinal, sub-retinal and choroidal circulation systems.
