On a different note,
The OPS website still has the old Kirby Miller article about ICG angiography.
Back when he wrote this (I don't know the year), as he states, we take ICG
images out to at least 30 minutes, sometimes up to an hour.
Now, I haven't taken an ICG past 25 minutes since the mid 1990s. We now know
that ICG is a different animal than FA, and we don't wait to see what leaks.
Instead, it's a great marker to identify findings early in the process- such as
feeder vessels, RAP, and in the later (3-5 minutes) phases, PCV.
Having said that, how many people take ICG out more than 5 minutes? 10 minutes?
more?
Just curious- perhaps the article needs to be updated? (I would be more than
happy to oblige)
thanks
