Fluorescein Angiography Lecture

What Will You Learn?

• The core clinical applications and utility of Fluorescein Angiography in diagnosing and monitoring ocular vascular conditions.
• Use of FFA in diabetic retinopathy, including identification of non-perfusion areas, microvascular changes, and neovascularization.
• Interpretation of angiographic findings in central and branch retinal vein occlusions.
• Understanding characteristic FFA patterns in macular diseases such as cystoid macular edema (CME), central serous retinopathy (CSR), and Stargardt disease.
• FFA applications in inflammatory conditions including APMPPE, punctate inner choroidopathy, birdshot chorioretinopathy, and multifocal choroiditis.
• Differentiation between retinal and choroidal lesions using angiographic criteria: including CNVM, PED, drusen, melanoma, and angioid streaks.
• Recognition of classic FFA patterns, such as "smoke stack" in CSR and lesion staining in inflammatory diseases.
• Introduction to Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) as a complementary tool to FFA in specific disorders.
