The choroid is the most vascular tissue in the eye and it plays an important role in the pathophysiology of various common chorioretinal diseases such as central serous retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and degenerative myopia. Quantitative assessment of the choroid has been quite challenging with traditional imaging modalities such as indocyanine green angiography and ultrasonography due to limited resolution and repeatability. With the advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology, detailed visualization of the choroid in vivo is now possible. Measurements of choroidal thickness have also enabled new directions in research to study normal and pathological processes within the choroid. The aim of the present study is to review the current literature on choroidal imaging using OCT.
脉络膜是眼部血管最丰富的组织,在多种常见的脉络膜视网膜疾病(如中心性浆液性视网膜病变、年龄相关性黄斑变性和变性近视)的病理生理学中发挥着重要作用。由于分辨率和可重复性有限,使用传统成像方式(如吲哚菁绿血管造影和超声检查)对脉络膜进行定量评估颇具挑战性。随着光学相干断层扫描(OCT)技术的出现,现在可以在体内对脉络膜进行详细可视化。脉络膜厚度的测量也为研究脉络膜内正常和病理过程的新研究方向提供了可能。本研究的目的是综述目前关于使用OCT进行脉络膜成像的文献。
