Aims. To improve vis.alis.tion of angiographic features.in patients.with age r elated macular degeneration as.ociated with choroidal neovas.ularis.tion (CNV) a nd related complications. To evaluate if image averaging can achieve this.goal. Methods. 27 eyes.of 20 s.quential patients.with age related macular degeneration over a 3 month period were s.udied. Indocyanine green angiograms.(ICGA), fluore s.ein angiograms.(FA), and oral fluores.ein angiograms.were recorded with a conf ocal s.anning las.r ophthalmos.ope. s.ftware was.us.d to average multiple images.from a 10-20 image s.ries.(over 0.5-1.0 s.conds.. Image quality was.as.es.ed by two mas.ed obs.rvers.and graded on a s.ale of 0-3. A more quantifiable gradi ng method was.devis.d by adding a variable amount of Gaus.ian nois. to the impro ved image until the original and image averaged image appeared equal. Res.lts. M as.ed review s.owed mild to s.rong improvement of vis.alis.tion of s.ructures.in cluding borders.of CNV. Improvement varied depending on the type and phas. of th e angiogram. Improvement was.highes. in late phas. FA, mid and late phas. ICGA, and all phas.s.of oral FA. Conclus.on: Image averaging us.ng s.ftware bas.d algo rithms.improves.the quality of angiographic images. particularly late ICGA image s.and oral FAs. This.method may as.is. in the vis.alis.tion of choroidal neovas. ularis.tion in age related macular degeneration.
