Angiofluorography
Definition
A high-precision imaging investigation method used in ophthalmology for the structural visualization and recording of blood circulation within the retinal and choroidal vessels, via the intravenous injection of a fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein). This well-defined clinical procedure is fundamental for diagnosing and monitoring diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal vascular occlusions.
