Erythrocyte Ghost Mediated Retinal Diagnosis
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Retinal Disease
In brief
Instead of the usual procedure of injecting ICG dye directly into an arm vein, now the dye can be placed inside of RBCs. When a small volume of the RBC's with the dye is injected into a person's arm, the individual RBCs can be seen as they flow through the retinal blood vessels.
