Abstract
The first attempt to use indocyanine green (ICG) as a dye for the study of the chorioretina dates from 1969. Kogure and Choromokos used ICG to study the brain vasculature and in 1969 recorded the first ICG absorption angiography of the ocular fundus with infrared colour film. As the dye had to be injected in the carotid artery, its use was limited. Hochheimer demonstrated that it was possible to record ICG passage after intravenous injection with high-speed infrared black-and-white film and a regular fundus camera. The images obtained where however difficult to analyse.
