PHOTO MONTAGE I
DIGITAL CAPTURE IN FUNDUS PHOTOGRAPHY AND ANGIOGRAPHY
HAS ALLOWED FOR UNIQUE AND INTERESTING WAYS OF RETINAL
IMAGING. BELOW IS A COLOR PHOTO OF A PATIENT WHO
IS SUFFERING FROM DIABETIC RETINOPATHY AND IS PRESENTING
WITH A 'BOAT-SHAPED' PRE-RETINAL HEMORRHAGE.

HERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT VIEWS OF THE SAME RETINA
TAKEN DURING THE ANGIOGRAM.THE SOFTWARE ASSOCIATED WITH OUR DIGITAL CAPTURE SYSTEM CAN 'STITCH' (OR MONTAGE) THESE IMAGES TOGETHER TO GIVE US A BETTER, OVERALL VIEW OF THE RETINA. NOW WE CAN VIEW THE HEMORRHAGE AS WELL AS THE AREA OF NVE (NEO-VASCULARIZATION ELSEWHERE) IN THE SUPERIOR TEMPORAL REGION OF THE RETINA THAT IS LIKELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT HEMORRHAGE. WE CAN ALSO SEE THE EXTENT OF PAN-RETINAL LASER TREATMENT THIS PATIENT HAS HAD IN THE PAST (THE SMALL DARK SPLOTCHY SPOTS).
