Optical coherence tomography angiography optovue a very basic lecture detailing the new advancement of dyeless angiography by spectral domain OCT system and SSADA and Motion correction algorithm
14. How Does OCT-A Work?
So smart, so simple
OCT image is a structural, cross-sectional, B-scan image.
OCT works by sending a long-wavelength light, then detecting
changes that occurred on the tissue-reflected light; thereby, it
converts the reflected light into an image.
15. How Does OCT-A Work?
So smart, so simple
OCT-A machine captures multiple conventional
structural OCT images at the same site.
Then, it compares the resulting differences
between them (decorrelation):
• If the imaged area is avascular, then no
difference among the multiple images will be
detected, and the OCT-A will appear black.
17. How Does OCT-A Work?
So smart, so simple
If the imaged area is
vascular, intravascular
turbulence will cause
differences among
the multiple images;
this difference will be
depicted as vessels..
18. OCT-A is the beginning of a promising future
of retinal vascular imaging
19. Using OCT-A in Daily practice
First we need to understand basic analysis
Segmentation
35. The evidence behind the OCT-A
• OCT and angiography is eliciting commercial and clinical
interest
• powerful research tool changing classification and
management of glaucoma, cornea, retina, and anterior
segment
• Its power in its reproducibility and high resolution
