Photography Protocols
Protocols for fundus photography and fluorescein angiography vary according to the study goals. The Scheie Image Reading Center has a general photography protocol [PDF, 368KB] designed for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) studies. This general photography protocol includes procedures for submitting film images or digital images to the Reading Center.
As part of the photography protocol, photographers must meet specific certification requirements and the digital imaging equipment must meet certain standards. For information on photographer certification and digital imaging equipment certification, click here.
