Using OCTA to Assess Neovascularization Characteristics in Early PDR Researchers classified retinal neovascularization in untreated early stages of proliferative diabetic retinopathy based on optical coherence tomography angiography, as part of a cross-sectional study.
Thirty-five eyes were included. They underwent color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography and OCTA exams. Researchers used OCTA to assess neovascularizations of the optic disc, neovascularizations elsewhere and intraretinal microvascular abnormalities. They evaluated the origin and morphology of NVD/NVE/IRMA on OCTA, and measured retinal nonperfusion areas using Image J software.
The initial layer and affiliated NPAs were significantly different in the three subtypes of NVEs (all p<0.01).
