Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is an important new
imaging modality that is already being used by ophthalmologists in
retina centers worldwide. It uses motion as intrinsic contrast,
thus obviating the need to inject any intravenous dye. It uses
infrared light that is invisible to the patient, and only requires
few seconds per scan. This makes it both easier to use and much
better tolerated by patients than traditional dye-based fluorescein
angiography (FA) and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography. Inside
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the Eye Drs. David
Huang, Bruno Lumbroso, Yali Jia, and Nadia Waheed include detailed
information on clinical applications and fundamental principles
needed to understand and use this new technology. This includes
information on high-speed OCT systems, algorithms to extract flow
contrast, the appearance of the normal eye, the findings in myriad
diseases, and tips on how to deal with artifact and pitfalls. The
3-dimensional nature of OCT angiography provides visualization that
was not possible before with either FA or ICG and readers will come
to appreciate how this enables the visualization 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 noninvasive nature and ease of use, OCT angiography
imaging is rapidly taking an important place in everyday
ophthalmology and may soon replace fluorescein angiography in
everyday practice. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the
Eye is designed to be the definitive text on this cutting-edge
technology for the retina specialist and comprehensive
ophthalmologist.
