Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new imaging technology capable of providing three-dimensional (3-D) retinal and choroidal microvascular maps without a need for exogenous dye. In this study, the authors evaluate the retinal and choroidal microvascular architecture of the macula in a patient with choroidal hemangioma using OCTA. Widefield OCTA with tracking capability and segmentation was performed to provide images with a field of view at 9 × 9 mm. The en face maximum projection was used to generate 2-D angiograms of different layers with color-coded images. Variable levels of perfusion within the lesion were identified, which correlate well with the known vascular abnormalities of choroidal hemangiomas. OCTA demonstrated an accurate modality to measure the 3-D borders of this lesion. This is the novel utilization of OCTA imaging on choroidal hemangioma. OCTA may provide detailed vascular findings in circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas, which may aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of the treatment response.

光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)是一种新型成像技术,能够提供三维(3-D)视网膜和脉络膜微血管图谱,无需使用外源性染料。在本研究中,作者使用OCTA评估了一名脉络膜血管瘤患者黄斑区的视网膜和脉络膜微血管结构。采用具有跟踪功能和分割功能的广角OCTA进行检查,以提供视野为9×9mm的图像。通过正面最大投影生成不同层的二维血管造影彩色编码图像。确定了病变内不同程度的灌注情况,这与脉络膜血管瘤已知的血管异常情况密切相关。OCTA证明是测量该病变三维边界的一种准确方法。这是OCTA成像在脉络膜血管瘤上的新应用。OCTA可能会提供局限性脉络膜血管瘤详细的血管表现,这可能有助于诊断和评估治疗反应。[《眼科手术、激光与视网膜成像》。2018年;49:134 - 137。]
