Summary
Advanced forms of exudative AMD often form diagnostic difficulties and need to be differentiated with other proliferative diseases of the posterior pole. The necessary diagnostic examinations in theses cases are fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, and nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) of the eye balls. Angiogenesis in the degenerative changes of the retina results in similar degree of enhancement in MR as in melanomas and metastases. The aim of this presentation is to discuss and compare the images of advanced forms of exudative AMD in images from fluorescein angiography, ultrasound, and especially MR based on clinical cases. Conclusions Despite being a very sensitive method due to its high tissues differentiation MR does not allow to define degenerative and proliferative changes in small foci. keywords:
