Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a rapid, non-invasive imaging technique that provides high-resolution analysis of retinal and choroidal microcirculation across different layers, without the need for contrast agents or risk of leakage and accumulation. It also offers a quantitative assessment of key parameters, such as the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and vascular density.
Recent studies have shown that OCT angiography (OCTA) is capable of detecting early vascular changes in diabetic patients, making it a promising tool for diabetic retinopathy screening.
This session will focus on the latest advancements in OCTA, as well as the various qualitative and quantitative abnormalities observed in diabetic patients prior to the onset of diabetic retinopathy (DR). It will also address the challenges and potential pitfalls in interpreting this technique at this stage of the disease.
