Relationship between angiographic and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) parameters for quantifying choroidal neovascular lesions
Background To correlate the volume of various spaces on optical coherence tomography (OCT) with fluorescein angiographic (FA) parameters in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods Sixty-five consecutive cases of active subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with AMD were retrospectively collected. Area and greatest linear dimension of CNV lesion components were calculated on FA. Corresponding StratusOCT image sets were analyzed using custom software (termed OCTOR), which allows manual measurement of the volume of the neurosensory retina, subretinal fluid, subretinal tissue, and pigment epithelial detachment (PED). Results Area of occult CNV on FA correlated with PED (R = 0.62) and subretinal fluid ...
