Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ocular fundus angiography is an indispensable component of the tests utilized for fundus diseases. Dynamic angiography results can provide additional information; however, many difficulties remain. In this study, we introduce a modified method, time-lapse angiography (TLA), to dynamically present imaging results. METHODS: TLA, combining time-lapse photography and fundus angiography (using Heidelberg retina angiography II, Germany), includes pre-photographing and post- photosynthesis and ultimately produces a video that is approximately 15 s in length. RESULTS: Four typical videos in the article showed the characteristics of TLA, including a short and rapid but continuous and integral presentation, highly valid information, high definition, etc. CONCLUSIONS: TLA is beneficial for the diagnosis of diseases and the assessment of progression and is convenient for peer communication, patient interpretation, and student education. The application of time-lapse photography in ocular fundus angiography is a monumental and innovative attempt.
