“…5 Despite this, initial usage was limited by the poor fluorescence efficiency of indocyanine green, and the limited ability to produce high-resolution images on infrared film. Since the 1990s, however, the development of high-speed, high-resolution digital imaging systems has resolved many of these issues.…”

Since its first description more than 40 years ago, fluorescein angiography had a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of chorioretinal vascular disorders such as neovascular agerelated macular degeneration. Although fluorescein angiography permits visualization of the retinal microcirculation in exquisite detail, visualization of the choroidal circulation is more limited. Moreover, fluorescein angiography provides only minimal information regarding the functional consequences of vascular disease and allows, at best, only semi-quantitative assessment of retinal thickness. In recent years, the development of other chorioretinal imaging modalities, such as indocyanine green angiography, fundus autofluorescence, and optical coherence tomography (OCT), has addressed many of these issues. In particular, OCT has become an integral tool for vitreoretinal specialists as it allows highresolution cross-sectional images of the neurosensory retina to be obtained in a non-invasive manner. The latest generation of commercial OCT technologyFspectral domain OCTFoffers high-speed scanning that allows complete coverage of the macular area, generation of three-dimensional retinal reconstructions, and precise image registration for inter-visit comparisons. The high speed of spectral domain OCT also facilitates B-scan averaging, which reduces speckle noise artefact and allows unparalleled visualization of the outer retina and choroid. In the near future, further advances in OCT technology (eg Doppler OCT) are likely to dramatically enhance the diagnosis and management of patients with chorioretinal vascular disease.

“…[28][29][30] It has been previously suggested that indocyanine green angiography therefore may have a role in the diagnosis of intraocular tumors, but this was not further investigated at that time. [14][15][16] Another more recently published study also investigated the value of indocyanine green angiography in diagnosing and differentiating various choroidal tumors including choroidal melanomas. 29 The authors used a conventional nonscanning and nonconfocal technique.…”

“…ICGA was first performed in 1972 by Flower and Hochheimer [149] and, like FA, became widespread in the 1990s with the development and proliferation of digital fundus imaging technologies, including those that provided capabilities for narrowband filtering and enhanced-sensitivity light detection. ICG is excited by a broad band of light with a peak near 800 nm and emits light with a peak near 835 nm.…”
