This is what Eye Wiki says

And for the ICG, this is from Moorfields

Retinal Angiomatous Proliferation (RAP)
I googled that & have posted a link.
The other one is a link to Moorfields & although it is a Paediatric explanation, it would apply to an adult
Fluorescein (FFA) and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography
