The evaluation of OCT3 during anti-VEGF therapy.
A total of 29 patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD received 3 intravitreal injections of ranibizumab. OCT examination and visual acuity testing (ETDRS) were performed before therapy onset, after 1 week and after 1, 2 and 3 months.
The central retinal thickness (CRT) was assessed correctly by OCT in 128 out of 145 measurements. There was a distinct (84%) but not significant correlation between decrease in central retinal thickness and increase in visual acuity. Incorrect retinal layer segmentation and inadequate CRT measurements were a significant technical limitation.
During anti-VEGF therapy, OCT allows documentation and quantification of morphologic retinal changes and in most cases also for an estimation of functional improvement.
抗血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)治疗期间对OCT3的评估。
29例继发于年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)的脉络膜新生血管患者接受了3次玻璃体内注射雷珠单抗。在治疗开始前、1周后以及1、2和3个月后进行光学相干断层扫描(OCT)检查和视力测试(ETDRS)。
在145次测量中,OCT正确评估了128次的中心视网膜厚度(CRT)。中心视网膜厚度的降低与视力提高之间存在显著(84%)但不显著的相关性。视网膜层分割错误和CRT测量不足是一个重大技术限制。
在抗VEGF治疗期间,OCT可记录和量化视网膜形态学变化,并且在大多数情况下还可用于估计功能改善情况。
