Early Diabetic Retinopathy Evaluation With OCTA: A Study on Vascular Branching and Fragmentation
Foveal BND and BNN in DVP reveal vascular alterations indicative of preclinical DR. Indicators such as EPD, FVSC, and FVLR in DVP correlate with early DR changes and are useful for its early detection. These initial findings demonstrate the potential and benefits of these quantitative OCTA indices for delineating DR-associated alterations in the retinal microvasculature, indicating their potential clinical utility for improved DR screening.
