Abstract
New technical developments are reported in television fluoroangiography. The use of “equidensitometry” and fluorescein dilution curves for the determination of retinal blood flow is discussed. The authors present a digital system for TV fundus image processing, which appears to be the most promising field for obtaining quantitative information, i.e. quantifying clinical data from the eye fundus.
Zusammenfassung
Neue technische Entwicklungen in der Fernsehregistrierung der Fluoreszenzangiographien werden vorgestellt. Der Gebrauch der Equidensitometrie und der Auflösungskurven der Fluoreszin zur Messung der Netzhautblutströmung werden diskutiert. Die Autoren stellen ein Digitalsystem für die Vorbereitung von Fernsehfundusaufnahmen vor, die das am meisten versprechende Gebiet zur Erhaltung von quantitativen Informationen darstellt, d.h. zur Quantifizierung von klinischen Daten, die vom Fundus herkommen.
