Guidelines for Imaging the Choriocapillaris Using OCT Angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To provide guidance on how to appropriately quantitate various choriocapillaris (CC) parameters with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Design

Evidence-based perspective.

Methods

Review of literature and experience of authors.

Results

Accurate and reliable quantification of CC using OCTA requires that CC can be visualized and that the measurements of various CC parameters are validated. For accurate visualization, the selected CC slab must be physiologically sound, must produce images consistent with histology, and must yield qualitatively similar images when viewing repeats of the same scan or scans of different sizes. For accurate quantification, the measured intercapillary distances (ICDs) should be consistent with known measurements us
