Fluorescein and ICG Angiography are used to image the posterior layers of the eye. Generally it allows the physician an better understanding of the disease process. This imaging procedure is conducted using a small amount of liquid dye that is injecting into a vein, similar to a blood draw with a butterfly needle.
Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICG) is a diagnostic procedure that uses ICG dye to examine the blood flow in the CHOROID – the layer of blood vessels which lies underneath the retina.

Fluorescein angiography is an eye test that uses a special dye and camera to look at blood flow in the retina and choroid. These are the two layers in the back of the eye.
Monitoring of Gastrointestinal Vascular Perfusion using Indocyanine Green Dye, External Approach. ICD-10-PCS 4A1BXSH is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Indocyanine green is administered as a rapid IV bolus. For hepatic function studies, administer into the lumen of an arm vein as rapidly as possible, without allowing the dye to escape outside the vein. Study the patient in a fasting, basal state.
