  Explore Home - Springer 7 hours, 12 min ago Ophthalmology
  
  Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has significantly expanded our knowledge of the ocular vasculature. In this review, we provide a discussion of the fundamental principles of OCTA and the application of this imaging modality to study the retinal and choroidal vessels. These guidelines are focused on 2020, and include updates since the 2019 publication. Importantly, we will comment on recent findings on OCTA technology with a special focus on the three-dimensional (3D) OCTA visualization.

  Projects from Boston and Portland could help translation of OCTA into clinics. Retina blood flow: vital for diagnosis Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a promising technique for imaging of blood vessels, in which sequential OCT scans of the same tissue cross-section reveal the sites of blood flow within those tissues, and can allow the blood oxygen content to be calculated. Examination of the retina is one promising application area for OCTA, thanks partly to the widespread adoption of conventional OCT within ophthalmology and its established place in clinical workflows. Two recent projects have published findings that could assist the ...

16. Optical coherence tomography: A useful tool for identifying subclinical optic neuropathy in diagnosing multiple sclerosis
  
  Explore Neurology Jul 30 2020 Neurology , Ophthalmology
  
  Care of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has evolved in the last decade to shorten the time to confirm the diagnosis of clinically definite MS and to start disease-modifying drugs as soon as possible to decrease permanent disability and the risk of progressive disease. Such trends have been achieved by improving our understanding of the role of paraclinical tests such as the presence of oligoclonal bands on CSF examination, visual evoked potentials, or MRI imaging of the brain or spinal cord. Recently, the evidence that retinal damage detected with optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a sensitive test for identifying MS-related ...

21. Visualizing human photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium cell mosaics in a single volume scan over an extended field of view with adaptive optics optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Jul 29 2020 Ophthalmology
  
  Using adaptive optics optical coherence tomography, human photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells are typically visualized on a small field of view of ∼1° to 2°. In addition, volume averaging is required for visualizing the RPE cell mosaic. To increase the imaging area, we introduce a lens based spectral domain AO-OCT system that shows low aberrations within an extended imaging area of 4°×4° while maintaining a high (theoretical) transverse resolution (at >7 mm pupil diameter) in the order of 2 µm. A new concept for wavefront sensing is introduced that uses light mainly originating from the RPE layer ...
