Revolutionizing Ophthalmology: The Power of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Angiography

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) angiography is a groundbreaking imaging modality that has already made a significant impact in the field of ophthalmology. This innovative technology uses motion as intrinsic contrast, eliminating the need for intravenous dye injections, making it a game-changer for retina centers worldwide.

Unlike traditional dye-based fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, OCT angiography is a non-invasive and patient-friendly procedure that utilizes infrared light, invisible to the patient, and requires only a few seconds per scan. This makes it an ideal solution for ophthalmologists and patients alike.

Unlocking the Potential of OCT Angiography

Inside the comprehensive guide, “Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the Eye,” renowned experts Drs. David Huang, Bruno Lumbroso, Yali Jia, and Nadia Waheed provide in-depth information on clinical applications and fundamental principles necessary to understand and master this cutting-edge technology.

This authoritative resource covers:

• High-speed OCT systems and their applications
• Algorithms for extracting flow contrast and visualizing vascular structures
• The appearance of the normal eye and the manifestations of various diseases
• Tips for avoiding artifacts and pitfalls in OCT angiography

The 3-dimensional nature of OCT angiography offers unparalleled visualization capabilities, enabling the examination of previously difficult-to-image vascular beds, such as the 4 retinal vascular plexuses (radial peripapillary, superficial, intermediate, and deep), the choriocapillaris, and the deeper choroidal vessels.

Given its non-invasive nature and ease of use, OCT angiography is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool in everyday ophthalmology, poised to replace fluorescein angiography in everyday practice.
