Purpose: To study the imaging findings of ultrawide-field swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (ss-OCTA) and its advantages with respect to ultrawide-field fundus photography (FP) in the precise diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), and to reveal its applications in DR.
Methods: The imaging findings of microangiopathy in ultrawide-field ss-OCTA and ultrawide-field FP from DR patients were retrospectively analyzed, and the differences between the two methods were assessed. In addition, the grade of DR based on the imaging findings of the two modalities was determined and compared.
Results: Ultra-widefield ss-OCTA clearly revealed various occult retinal microvascular lesions in DR patients over a detection range which was similar to ultrawide-field FP. Significantly more retinal microangiopathy were detected and more eyes were given a worse DR grade with ultrawide-field ss-OCTA than those with ultrawide-field FP.
Conclusion: Ultrawide-field ss-OCTA is more able to detect retinal microangiopathy compared with ultrawide-field FP and is contributive in the precise diagnosis of DR. Ultrawide-field ss-OCTA has substantial applicability in the precise diagnosis of DR, especially when ultrawide-field fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) is unavailable.

Paediatric staphyloma classification: new perspectives via ultrawide field three-dimensional swept-source optical coherence tomographic angiography.
Br J Ophthalmol
December 2024
Retinal, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Guangzhou, China
Article Synopsis
- This study used advanced imaging techniques to analyze posterior staphyloma (a type of eye condition) in children, aiming to develop a new classification system specific to pediatric cases.
- It found that less than 55% of pediatric staphylomas conformed to existing adult categories, indicating unique patterns like prevalent temporal and inferior temporal staphylomas linked to vascular issues.
- The results suggest a need for updated classification systems that accurately capture the distinct features of pediatric staphylomas, highlighting two new types not previously recognized in adult classifications.
Imaging Artifacts and Quality Evaluation with Ultrawide-Field Swept-Source OCTA in Diabetic Retinopathy.
Curr Eye Res
April 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common and what types of artifacts appear in SS-OCTA scans among diabetic retinopathy patients, involving different stages of the disease and healthy controls.
- Out of 70 eyes analyzed, nearly all (98.57%) showed at least one artifact, with 58.57% having severe artifacts, primarily loss of signal, displacement, and masking artifacts; severity of diabetic retinopathy significantly impacted the number of artifacts.
- The findings highlight the importance of careful image evaluation in OCTA scans, as the severity of diabetic retinopathy correlates with higher artifact scores.
Comparison of Chorioretinal Parameters in Diabetic Retinopathy with or without Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation Using Ultrawide-Field Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.
Ophthalmic Res

Department of Ophthalmology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China.
Introduction: To compare structural and vascular parameters in the central and peripheral retina and choroid of eyes diagnosed with severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with or without pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) using ultrawide-field swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
Methods: All participants underwent SS-OCTA imaging centered on the fovea. Retinal and choroidal thickness, vessel density of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), choroidal capillary plexus (CCP), and choroidal Sattler's and Haller's layer (CSHL) were analyzed in nine grids using built-in angiography analysis software.
