| Summary: |
Advanced forms of
exudative AMD often form diagnostic difficulties and
need to be differentiated with other proliferative
diseases of the posterior pole. The necessary diagnostic
examinations in theses cases are fluorescein and
indocyanine green angiography, and nuclear magnetic
resonance (MR) of the eye balls. Angiogenesis in the
degenerative changes of the retina results in similar
degree of enhancement in MR as in melanomas and
metastases.
The aim of this presentation is to discuss and compare
the images of advanced forms of exudative AMD in images
from fluorescein angiography, ultrasound, and especially
MR based on clinical cases.
Conclusions: Despite being a very sensitive
method due to its high tissues differentiation MR does
not allow to define degenerative and proliferative
changes in small foci. |
