From the reviews:“This excellent new angiography atlas by two German ophthalmologists has been translated into English and I suspect will quickly find its way into the libraries of UK ophthalmology departments. … The book reads very well indeed. … The layout works very well, and I have found it a very helpful book to refer to when looking at angiograms and autofluorescence images from my own patients. … the absolute key to a successful atlas in clinical ophthalmology is image quality.” (James Cameron, Eye News, February/March, 2010)

The technology of angiographic systems has been improved tremendously just within the past few years. This has allowed greatly increased levels of image resolution for both fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography.
This new atlas by Dithmar and Holz covers the basic principles of the new methods for fluorescein- and indocyanine green-angiography, as well as the high resolution imaging of fundus autofluorescence.
The angiographic signs of retinal and choroidal diseases are illustrated with images taken from a series of clinically relevant case examples that specifically illustrate the advantages of higher image resolution for the study of common retinochoroidal disorders. In so doing, this atlas offers an all-encompassing survey of the many angiographic signs in these disorders and their differential diagnoses. Clinicians in all subspecialties of ophthalmology can profit from a better understanding of these pathophysiological phenomena.
