Application of optical coherence tomography angiography in ocular anterior segment diseases
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 7
Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noncontact, noninvasive, and rapid angiography technique. It provides vascular images by detecting changes in the optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal of red blood cells in the blood vessel. Since this technique does not require injection of angiography, it is safer than traditional ophthalmic angiography. In the examination of anterior segment diseases, OCTA can not only quantify the range and density of anterior segment blood vessels, but also shows good imaging quality, providing an objective evaluation for clinical monitoring of the disease course and response to treatment.
