The diagnostic accuracy of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: a comparison with fundus fluorescein angiography

P urpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD): a comparison against fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). Methods A retrospective review of SD-OCT, colour fundus photographs (FP), and FFA of 411 consecutive patients referred to a rapid access Macular Clinic over a 4-year period was performed. FFA images were reviewed nonstereoscopically. SD-OCT images were acquired using the Topcon 3D OCT-1000 instrument. All FFA and OCT images were graded by at least two ophthalmologists independently. Side-by-side grading took place with immediate open discussion and adjudication. If there was disagreement between the two ...
