Purpose: To establish a process to evaluate and standardize a state-of-the-art nomenclature for reporting neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) data.
Design: Consensus meeting.
Participants: An international panel of retina specialists, imaging and image reading center experts, and ocular pathologists.
Purpose: To assess the long-term evolution of treatment-naive quiescent choroidal neovascularization (CNV), in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), to identify predictive activation biomarkers.
Methods: Patients with quiescent CNV underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination, including fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographies, structural optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of structural OCT and OCT angiography images were performed during the study period.
Purpose: To compare and evaluate images of macular cysts with different degrees of reflectivity (from gray to black signal) as observed in B scan spectral domain OCT (SDOCT) and EnFace OCT with decorrelation signal obtained with OCT-angiography (OCTA) in eyes with cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Methods: Images from 3033 patients affected by CME secondary to diabetes or RVO examined OCTA (Optovue XR Avanti, Optovue, USA) at the University Eye Clinic of Créteil, Hôpital Intercommunal, France, and at the University Eye Clinic of Cagliari, "San Giovanni di Dio" Hospital, Italy, were retrospectively examined. The deep capillary plexus OCTA images and the corresponding EnFace OCT images, both acquired with the same automatic segmentation, had been overlapped to compose RGB color images as red and green channels, respectively, using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare findings from optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) of the superficial and deep capillary plexuses in eyes with pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) against those from fluorescein angiography and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
- - Thirteen eyes with PCME underwent various eye examinations, and their vascular densities were measured and compared to those of 46 healthy eyes, revealing significantly lower vascular density in both capillary plexuses for the PCME group.
- - The conclusion highlights the potential of OCT-A for effectively assessing retinal blood flow in PCME, which could aid in understanding the underlying mechanisms of this condition.
Purpose: To compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) with traditional multimodal imaging in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration in terms of guiding the treatment decision.
Methods: Prospective case series of 80 eyes of 73 consecutive patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (39 women, mean age: 79.4 ± 5.
Purpose: To describe the relationship between pigment epithelial detachment (PED) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) by overlay of en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) and indocyanine green angiography/scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO).
Methods: Observational case report of a 75-year-old patient with age-related macular degeneration who presented with reduced vision and a vascularized PED-V scanned with an en face OCT ophthalmoscope.
Results: The OCT scan demonstrated the actual route of the CNV from the choroid to the subretinal space and a clearly delineated highly reflective area behind the vascularized PED and serous detachment; it also showed hyperreflectivity in the outer retina at the site of the lesion.
