[OCT biomarkers in diabetic maculopathy and artificial intelligence].

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease the microvascular complications of which include diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy. Diabetic macular edema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular ischemia pose a threat to visual acuity. Artificial intelligence can play an increasingly more important role in making the diagnosis and the treatment regimen of maculopathies in everyday clinical practice in the future. It can be used to automatically detect and quantify pathological parameters of the retina. The aim is to improve patient care in the clinical routine using so-called clinical decision support systems with personalized treatment algorithms. This review article outlines the current research regarding new biomarkers in diabetic maculopathy using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCT-A).
