A History of Fluorescein Angiography
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Fluorescein angiography is an important tool used in diagnosis and management of retinal pathology. By allowing visualization of the retinal vasculature, fluorescein angiography is instrumental in detecting diabetic and hypertensive eye disease, macular degeneration, diseases of the choroid and cancers of the eye. What follows is the chronological account of how and why this procedure was developed.
