Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is an emerging technology that allows for the non-invasive imaging of the ocular microvasculature. Despite the wealth of observations and numerous research studies illustrating the potential clinical uses of OCT-A, this technique is currently rarely used in routine clinical settings. In this review, technical and clinical aspects of OCT-A imaging are discussed, and the future clinical potential of OCT-A is considered. An understanding of the basic principles and limitations of OCT-A technology will better inform clinicians of its future potential in the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases.
光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCT-A)是一种新兴技术,可对眼部微血管系统进行无创成像。尽管有大量观察结果和众多研究表明OCT-A具有潜在的临床应用价值,但该技术目前在常规临床环境中很少使用。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了OCT-A成像的技术和临床方面,并探讨了OCT-A未来的临床潜力。了解OCT-A技术的基本原理和局限性将有助于临床医生更好地认识其在眼部疾病诊断和管理方面的未来潜力。
