Indocyanine green angiography
Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels in the eye. A special dye called indocyanine green is injected into a vein, and as it travels through the eye's blood vessels, a camera equipped with near-infrared light captures detailed images. This helps eye doctors assess the health of the retina and choroid, identify abnormalities, and diagnose conditions like age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy. The procedure is safe, quick, and provides valuable information about blood flow and vessel structure in the eye.
