| Abstract | Purpose: Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) scans of eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were used to replace color, autofluorescence, infrared reflectance, and dye-based fundus angiographic imaging for the diagnosis and staging of AMD. Through the use of different algorithms with the SS-OCTA scans, both structural and angiographic information can be viewed and assessed using both cross-sectional and en face imaging strategies. Design: Presented at the 2022 Charles L. Schepens, MD, Lecture at the American Academy of Ophthalmology Retina Subspecialty Day, Chicago, Illinois, on September 30, 2022 PARTICIPANTS: Patients with AMD METHODS: Review of published literature and ongoing clinical research using SS-OCTA imaging in AMD. Main outcome measures: SS-OCTA imaging of AMD at different stages of disease progression. Results: Volumetric SS-OCTA dense raster scans were used to diagnose and stage both exudative and nonexudative AMD. In eyes with nonexudative AMD, a single SS-OCTA scan was used to detect and measure structural features in the macula such as the area and volume of both typical soft drusen and calcified drusen, the presence and location of hyperreflective foci, the presence of reticular pseudodrusen, also known as subretinal drusenoid deposits, the thickness of the outer retinal layer, the presence and thickness of basal laminar deposits, the presence and area of persistent choroidal hypertransmission defects, and the presence of treatment-naïve nonexudative macular neovascularization. In eyes with exudative AMD, the same SS-OCTA scan pattern was used to detect and measure the presence of macular fluid, the presence and type of macular neovascularization, and the response of exudation to treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors. In addition, the same scan pattern was used to quantitate choriocapillaris (CC) perfusion, CC thickness, choroidal thickness, and the vascularity of the choroid. Conclusions: Compared with using several different instruments to perform multimodal imaging, a single SS-OCTA scan provides a convenient, comfortable, and comprehensive approach for obtaining qualitative and quantitative anatomic and angiographic information to monitor the onset, progression, and response to therapies in both nonexudative and exudative AMD. |
