Visualisation of contrast-enhanced intraoperative optical coherence tomography with indocyanine green

Br J Ophthalmol. 2014 Nov;98(11):1588-91. doi: 10.1136/bjophthalmol-2014-305295. Epub 2014 Apr 23.

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based visualisation of ophthalmic anatomy has transformed the clinical practice of ophthalmology. The translation of OCT into the surgical theatre is currently being actively researched and may provide a paradigm shift in surgical practice. Enhanced visualisation of tissues and tissue planes may provide further iterative improvement in surgeon feedback. Contrast-enhanced intraoperative OCT (iOCT) has been previously described with triamcinolone. In this report, we describe the OCT features and contrast enhancement noted with indocyanine green using iOCT in human subjects as well as an ex vivo analysis in porcine eyes.
