Hi Katie,
Could you post an EDI slice/image/scan that seems to demonstrate drusen?

Why not start with autofluorescence? That’s what our docs do here. That usually 
answers the question. On rare occasions they may also order a B-scan.

I haven’t done an FA for disc drusen for ages.

Subject: [optimal] More pediatric angiography questions

My satellite office is being sought out by the Riley Hospital ophthalmology 
team for help with pt. testing.  This is a personal accomplishment for me.  
Really proud, and humbled.

Two upcoming visits:
14 year old. Weight:  100lb    Working diagnosis: IIH, ON drusen
13 year old.  Weight: 100lb   Working Dx: ON drusen

My prescription of testing OU [stricly Spectralis FA &/ or Cirrus 5000] would 
involve:
Fasting 2 hours prior
Spectralis OCT ON - ONH button [73 sec., 60ym] art at 9
ON photos - IR 30degree, RF//BR 30 deg., FAF 30 & 20 degrees

FA oral, using 10% AK-FLUOR
convert weight for admin. using referenced calculations. i.e.  2 vials 10%  
5mL, into 3.5 oz. apple juice.
start  timer upon pat. consuming.  At 2 minutes start FA using 30 degree lens, 
laser at 95% sensitivity.  Acquire images every 3 minutes until 15 min. So OU 
at 2, 5, 8, 11, 14mins.

Any advice OPTIMAL?  Please!
I don't see any reason to choose IV over oral.?

Thanks,
