Diffuse or focal leakage can be identified by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA ).
Digital subtraction angiography For cardiac imaging the contrast medium may be administered intra-arterially by selective catheterisation to provide subtracted images.
During the catheterization, a long, slender tube called a catheter is inserted into a vein or artery and slowly directed to the blocked blood vessel, using x-ray guidance (angiography).
He is also best remembered by his older colleagues for his squeaky shoes and performing angiography dressed in a string vest and braces!
