ICG angiography uses IndoCyanine Green dye which fluoresces in the infrared (non-visible) light. These wavelengths have the ability to penetrate the retinal layers making the circulation in deeper layers, particularly the choroid, visible when photographed with an infrared sensitive camera. The images from the special camera are then digitized and stored in a computer.
