Abstract

In serial experiments on cats, intravenous digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was utilized to observe orbital and ocular circulation. Images of the orbital arterial system as well as normal ocular vasculature were obtained, utilizing dosage of contrast material acceptable for human study. Images obtained after intraarterial DSA had no advantage over those obtained with intravenous DSA. After retrobulbar injection of 3 ml of saline, intravenous DSA demonstrated straightening of the external ophthalmic arteries showing the potential of this method for identifying orbital vascular pathology.
