We performed angiography with indocyanine green (ICG) and fluorescein using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) in the anterior segments of seven normal and 35 diseased eyes. ICG angiography revealed the radical stromal vessels and minor arterial circle in brown irides, which were not detected by fluorescein angiography. High penetration of infrared fluorescence through the pigmented tissue and absence of extravasation of ICG facilitated demonstration of the fine structure of iris rubeosis and its origins from stromal vessels. In 11 diabetic eyes, the iris rubeosis showed three basic patterns of location: along the pupillary margin; originating from the iris root; and arising from stromal radial vessels near the collarette. ICG gonioangiography with SLO showed fine structure of angle rubeosis because of its high resolution and greater depth in focus. Rubeotic vessels in the chamber angle were perfused by neovascular trunks which arose from the iris root in all 12 rubeotic eyes. Rubeosis in the iris and the angle consistently showed no extravasation of the ICG dye, while fluorescein quickly leaked out. ICG angiography with SLO in the anterior ocular segment proved to be a useful means to study the structure and the hemodynamics of normal and newly formed vessels.

D007208 Indocyanine Green A tricarbocyanine dye that is used diagnostically in liver function tests and to determine blood volume and cardiac output. Cardio-Green,Cardiogreen,Ujoveridin,Vofaverdin,Vophaverdin,Wofaverdin,Cardio Green,Green, Indocyanine
D007259 Infrared Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum usually sensed as heat. Infrared wavelengths are longer than those of visible light, extending into the microwave frequencies. They are used therapeutically as heat, and also to warm food in restaurants. Heat Waves,Heat Wave,Infrared Ray,Ray, Infrared,Rays, Infrared,Wave, Heat,Waves, Heat
D007498 Iris The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.
