Comparison Between Graders in Detection of Diabetic Neovascularization With Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and Fluorescein Angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We compared the ability of ophthalmologists to identify neovascularization (NV) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) and fluorescein angiography (FA).

Design

Retrospective study comparing diagnostic instruments.

Methods

Eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy or severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy and a high suspicion of NV based on clinical examination were imaged using SS-OCTA and FA at the same visit. Two separate grading sets consisting of scrambled, anonymized SS-OCTA and FA images were created. The ground truth for presence of NV was established by consensus of 2 graders with OCTA experience who did not participate in the subsequent assessment of NV in this
