Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA): A Comprehensive Guide

By David Huang, Bruno Lumbroso, Yali Jia, and Nadia K. Waheed

Since its commercial introduction in 2014, Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) has undergone rapid growth, transforming the field of ophthalmic imaging. This non-invasive, capillary-resolution, 3-dimensional angiography technique is poised to overtake fluorescein as the gold standard in retinal and choroidal imaging. With nearly all ophthalmic OCT manufacturers now offering OCTA products, the technique has become an essential tool for clinicians.

A PubMed search yields over 5,700 articles on OCTA and related terms, highlighting the immense interest in this cutting-edge technology. Clinical investigators have explored OCTA’s applications in almost every category of retinal and optic nerve diseases, making it an indispensable resource for ophthalmologists.

Comprehensive Coverage of OCTA

This authoritative text brings together a wealth of information on OCTA, covering topics such as:

• Optical coherence tomography systems for angiography
• Optical coherence tomographic angiography algorithms
• Vascular anatomy of the normal retina and choroid
• OCTA of the normal anterior eye circulations
• Artifacts and quantification in OCTA
• Artificial intelligence in optical coherence tomographic angiography
• Terminology: establishing a new standard

OCTA Systems and Applications

The book provides in-depth information on various OCTA systems, including:

• AngioVue SSADA OCTA on the Optovue SOLIX Spectral-Domain OCT

Clinical Applications of OCTA

OCTA has been explored in various retinal and optic nerve diseases, including:

• Exudative neovascular age-related macular degeneration
• Retinal angiomatous proliferation
• Nonexudative neovascular age-related macular degeneration
• Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
• Macular telangiectasia
• Central serous chorioretinopathy
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Retinal venous occlusion
• Retinal arterial occlusion
• Plexus-specific occlusions in retinal vascular diseases
• Paracentral acute middle maculopathy
• Inherited retinal degenerations
• Pathologic myopia

This comprehensive guide to OCTA is an essential resource for clinicians, providing a one-stop reference for understanding and utilizing this groundbreaking technology.
