Synthesize the clinical utility, quantitative vascular metrics, and protocol considerations of optical coherence tomography angiography for evaluating diabetic retinopathy.
Evaluated literature on non-invasive optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging across deep and superficial retinal capillary layers.
Assessed quantitative endpoints, including foveal avascular zone metrics, vessel density, extrafoveal non-perfusion, and wide-field imaging capabilities.
OCTA enables detailed non-invasive detection of early microvascular damage, non-perfusion zones, and neovascularization across full retinal slabs.
Automated image reconstruction and artifact-filtering algorithms improve measurement standardization and mitigate segmentation errors caused by diabetic macular edema.
Standard clinical protocols require explicit quality checks and re-imaging allowances to address the high frequency of suboptimal scans in diabetic populations.
