Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Macular Edema
No full textOCT angiography is a promising new method to visualize the retinal vasculature and choroidal vascular layers in the macular area and provides depth resolved functional information of the blood flow in the vessels. Given that the main moving elements in the eye fundus are contained in vessels, determining a vascular decorrelation signal enables visualization of 3-dimensional retinal and choroidal vascular network without the administration of intravenous dye and thus reducing the risk of potential adverse events

No full textPURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in detecting choroidal neovascularization (CNV)-complicating adult onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AOFVD) and to highlight the possible pitfalls related to the heterogeneous spectrum of acquired vitelliform maculopathies. METHODS. Twenty-five eyes of 22 consecutive AOFVD patients with suspected CNV were enrolled. Conventional multimodal imaging findings, based on fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and B-Scan OCT, were used as a basis and were compared with those obtained from OCT-A to define its sensitivity and specificity for detecting CNV in the case of AOFVD. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the CNV appearance and of the associated OCT-A findings were also performed with the aim of defining features and elucidating possible diagnostic pitfalls. RESULTS. Conventional multimodal imaging allowed diagnosis of a CNV in 5 of 25 eyes (20%), whereas a CNV lesion was clearly observed on OCT-A in 4 of 25 cases (16%). The sensitivity and specificity of CNV detection by OCT-A in cases of AOFVD was 4 of 5 cases (80%) and 20 of 20 cases (100%), respectively. Optical coherence tomography angiography in 10 cases (40%) showed a focal hyperintense signal, without vascular aspects, at the level of the outer nuclear layer or immediately above the subretinal material accumulation. CONCLUSIONS. Our study demonstrates the capability of OCT-A to allow diagnosis of the presence of a CNV in AOFVD patients. Although FA remains the gold standard for determining the presence of a neovascular network, OCT-A offers noninvasive monitoring of the retinal and choroidal microvasculature, aiding in diagnosis and treatment decisions during follow-up

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Healthy Subjects and Diabetic Patients
No full textFluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography provide information about the normal retinal and choroidal vascular perfusion. They allow the evaluation of different diseases and increase the capability to define and diagnose several pathological conditions. Fluorescein angio graphy is the “gold standard” in imaging the retinal vascular bed and its changes, although not all the different layers of the capillary network can be visualized in a bidimensional examination. Optical coherence tomography angiography allows a depth-resolved visualization of the retinal and choroidal microvasculature, by calculating the difference (decorrelation) between static and nonstatic tissue. Given that the main moving elements in the eye fundus are contained in vessels, determining a vascular decorrelation signal permits a three-dimensional visualization of the retinal and choroidal vascular network without the administration of an intravenous dye. Moreover, a complete morphofunctional assessment may help in defining both the origin and the clinical activity of different vascular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy.</jats:p
