Choriocapillaris Imaging Using Multiple En Face Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Image Averaging.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Imaging of the choriocapillaris in vivo is challenging with existing technology. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), if optimized, could make the imaging less challenging.

Objective

To investigate multiple en face image averaging on OCTA images of the choriocapillaris.

Design, setting, and participants

Observational, cross-sectional case series at a referral institutional practice in Los Angeles, California. From the original cohort of 21 healthy individuals, 17 normal eyes of 17 participants were included in the study. The study dates were August to September 2016.

Exposures

All participants underwent OCTA imaging of the macula covering a 3 × 3-mm area using OCTA software (Cirrus 5000 with AngioPlex; Carl Zeiss Meditec). One eye per par
