Ultra-widefield imaging valuable in detecting peripheral retinal ischemia
WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — Ultra-widefield imaging with fluorescein angiography is a valuable tool for detecting retinal ischemia, according to a speaker here. “With widefield angiography, you can notate neovascularization, perfused areas, previously lasered areas and the area of ischemia,” Judy E. Kim, MD, said at Retina 2016. “What can we do with that information? It seems that the presence of retinal ischemia may correlate with development of diabetic macular edema ... so the thought is that areas of ischemia causes increase in VEGF production, which then may play a role in (Read more...)
