Application of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography to Retinal Disease

A little over two years ago, a hot new topic in retinal imaging caught the attention of ophthalmologists around the world. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), an innovative, fast, noninvasive, non-dye-based angiographic technique, quickly became a topic of great interest in major conferences and ophthalmology journals. Inquisitive minds applied the OCTA prototypes to understanding diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. The technology’s high resolution and ability to segment the different vascular layers provided novel insight into disease pathogenesis and morphology, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the ocular microvasculature in a level of anatomic detail that ...
