1. Topographic analysis of macular choriocapillaris flow deficits in diabetic retinopathy using swept–source optical coherence tomography angiography

   Explore journalretinavitreous.biomedcentral.com Mar 24 2020 Ophthalmology

   

   Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity and macular choriocapillaris (CC) flow deficit percentage (FD %) in different macular regions using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). Methods Diabetic patients with SS-OCTA images were graded by severity and retrospectively assessed. CC FD % was calculated in four different regions of the OCTA image: inner, middle, outer, and full-field region. The generalized estimating equations (GEE) approach for clustered eye data was used to determine effect size and significance of age and disease severity on FD % for each region. Results 160 eyes from 90 total ...

2. Controlling for Artifacts in Widefield Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Measurements of Non-Perfusion Area

   Explore Nature Publishing Group Jul 1 2019 Ophthalmology

   

   The recent clinical adoption of optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) has enabled non-invasive, volumetric visualization of ocular vasculature at micron-scale resolutions. Initially limited to 3 mm × 3 mm and 6 mm × 6 mm fields-of-view (FOV), commercial OCTA systems now offer 12 mm × 12 mm, or larger, imaging fields. While larger FOVs promise a more complete visualization of retinal disease, they also introduce new challenges to the accurate and reliable interpretation of OCTA data. In particular, because of vignetting, wide-field imaging increases occurrence of low-OCT-signal artifacts, which leads to thresholding and/or segmentation artifacts, complicating OCTA analysis. This study presents ...

3. QUANTIFICATION OF RETINAL CAPILLARY NONPERFUSION IN DIABETICS USING WIDE-FIELD OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY

   Explore LWW Online Dec 26 2018 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose: To combine advances in high-speed, wide-field optical coherence tomography angiography ( OCTA ) with image processing methods for semiautomatic quantitative analysis of capillary nonperfusion in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: Sixty-eight diabetic patients (73 eyes), either without retinopathy or with different degrees of retinopathy, were prospectively recruited for volumetric swept-source OCTA imaging using 12 mm × 12 mm fields centered at the fovea. A custom, semiautomatic software algorithm was used to quantify areas of capillary nonperfusion . Results: The mean percentage of nonperfused area was 0.1% (95% confidence interval: 0.0–0.4) in the eyes without DR; 2.1% (95 ...

5. CORRELATION OF SPECTRAL DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY AND CLINICAL ACTIVITY IN NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

   Explore LWW Online Jun 11 2016 Ophthalmology

   

   Purpose: To characterize the features of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration with spectral domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to determine whether OCTA can be used to determine clinical activity of CNV. Methods: Observational, retrospective, consecutive case series.

   BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To describe a method for visualizing preretinal neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and report the findings in the surrounding vasculature. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with PDR diagnosed on clinical examination who received OCTA scans using the RTVue XR Avanti (Optovue, Fremont, CA) were evaluated. To visualize preretinal neovascularization, OCT angiograms were segmented to project vasculature above the internal limiting membrane (ILM).

   BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To describe the retinal vasculature and choriocapillaris, as well as the transition zone between the diseased and healthy tissue, in eyes with inherited retinal degenerations using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). . PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with inherited retinal degenerations were recruited for OCTA imaging. Retinal vasculature was assessed for increased intercapillary space and foveal avascular zone abnormalities. Choriocapillaris, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and photoreceptor disruption were noted, and the borders were evaluated to speculate which layers become affected first. RESULTS: Fourteen eyes of seven subjects with inherited retinal degenerations were included. All eyes (100%) demonstrated retinal thinning ...

13. Association of Choroidal Neovascularization and Central Serous Chorioretinopathy With Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

    Explore JAMA Network May 28 2015 Ophthalmology

    

    Importance Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a major cause of vision loss in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Detecting CNV using fluorescein angiography (FA) may be challenging owing to the coexistence of features related to the primary diagnosis of CSCR. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) allows noninvasive visualization of retinal and choroidal vasculature via motion contrast and may contribute to the unequivocal diagnosis of CNV in this population. Objective To evaluate the sensitivity of spectral-domain OCTA in detecting CNV associated with chronic CSCR. Design, Setting, and Participants Observational cross-sectional study including 23 patients (27 eyes) who presented at the New England ...

    Purpose: To describe a novel finding of solid-appearing retinal cysts in patients with diabetic macular edema. Methods: Case series of four patients with diabetic retinopathy discovered to have solid-appearing retinal cysts on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Results: These cases demonstrate the presence of inner retinal hyporeflective cysts filled with an isoreflective substance on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. These solid-appearing cysts arise from previously fluid-filled cysts and are not found in relation to intraretinal hemorrhage. Treatment with intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor agents did not seem to directly alter their natural course. Conclusion: The authors report solid-appearing retinal cysts as ...

    Explore Archives of Ophthalmology Jan 10 2011 Ophthalmology

    

    Commotio retinae is a self-limited opacification of the retina secondary to direct blunt ocular trauma. Histologic studies of monkeys and humans relate this clinical observation to damaged photoreceptor outer segments and receptor cell bodies.1-3 Reports using time-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and spectral-domain OCT support the involvement of the photoreceptor layer, but these techniques lack the resolution necessary to confirm results of histologic analysis.4-6 Prototype high-speed ultra–high-resolution OCT (hs-UHR-OCT) images demonstrate these anatomical changes in a patient with acute commotio retinae.
