Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is a promising technique that provides depth resolved images of blood flow in the retina and choroid with levels of detail far exceeding that obtained with older forms of imaging and offers several advantages over conventional angiography to visualize the chorioretinal vasculature in a rapid and noninvasive manner. However, as with any evolving imaging technique, there are ongoing challenges in terms of need for new equipment, limitations of imaging capability and software processing techniques, as well as in understanding the implications of the imaging and its correlation with pathophysiology of the retina and choroid. This expert panel discussion is structured to provide an insight into the current state of OCT angiography.
光学相干断层扫描血管造影术(OCT 血管造影术)是一种很有前途的技术,它提供了视网膜和脉络膜血流的深度分辨图像,其细节水平远远超过了旧的成像方式,并且在快速和非侵入性地可视化脉络膜视网膜血管方面具有优于传统血管造影的几个优势。然而,与任何不断发展的成像技术一样,在需要新设备、成像能力和软件处理技术的限制以及对成像的影响及其与视网膜和脉络膜病理生理学的相关性的理解方面,都存在着持续的挑战。本次专家小组讨论旨在深入了解 OCT 血管造影术的现状。
