OBJECTIVE This study aimed to use a new technique for ocular imaging, digital subtraction indocyanine green angiography (DS-ICGA), to evaluate patients with occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV). METHODS The design was a cross-sectional study of patients with occult CNV. METHODS A total of 31 eyes of 31 patients were studied. METHODS Digital subtraction of sequentially acquired indocyanine green angiographic frames was used to image the progression of the dye front in eyes with occult CNV. A method of pseudocolor imaging of the choroid was developed that allows differentiation and identification of underlying choroidal arteries and veins. RESULTS The DS-ICGA of occult CNV showed consistent findings. Occult CNV was imaged with greater detail and in a shorter period of time than with conventional indocyanine green angiography. The fundus landmarks were retained with DS-ICGA much better than with conventional indocyanine green angiography. CONCLUSIONS The DS-ICGA uses time to dissect the choroidal circulation. With DS-ICGA, occult CNV could be imaged more quickly and in greater detail than with conventional imaging techniques. The DS-ICGA may improve the authors ability to image, and subsequently treat, occult CNV.

D015901 Angiography, Digital Subtraction A method of delineating blood vessels by subtracting a tissue background image from an image of tissue plus intravascular contrast material that attenuates the X-ray photons. The background image is determined from a digitized image taken a few moments before injection of the contrast material. The resulting angiogram is a high-contrast image of the vessel. This subtraction technique allows extraction of a high-intensity signal from the superimposed background information. The image is thus the result of the differential absorption of X-rays by different tissues. Digital Subtraction Angiography,Subtraction Angiography, Digital
