Comparison of widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography and ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography in the detection of non-perfusion areas in diabetic retinopathy
Within the scan range of 24×20 mm SS-OCTA, over 50% of total NPAs were missed compared to UWFA. However, OCTA can accurately reveal the degree of retinal ischemia within its field of view. NPA is unevenly distributed in the retina, with the predominant area being the inferior nasal region. This study suggests that this area should be prioritized for assessment in DR management.
