Notes on angiography
CAUTION - HAZARDS DUE TO SIDE EFFECTS
The information of the manufacturer of the injected dye relating to
contraindications and side effects must be heeded to prevent incidents
during angiography.
Angiography using the CIRRUS photo 800
In FA/ICGA capture mode, monochrome images of a patient's eye are
generated. The patient's eye is illuminated with light in different
wavelengths which stimulates the injected solution (fluorescein-sodium (F)
or indocyanine green (ICG) ) to fluoresce. The emitted light (green) is filtered
out in the camera beam path.
Image capture is triggered by pressing the release button on the joystick
(8, Fig. 3).

Angiography is a diagnostic procedure conducted over a longer
period. It is therefore documented with a series of images, i.e. each
exposure is assigned to a particular FA running time.
