Macular Vascular Imaging and Connectivity Analysis Using High-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To characterize macular blood flow connectivity in vivo using high-resolution optical coherence tomography (HighRes OCT).

Methods

Cross-sectional, observational study. Dense (6-µm interscan distance) perifoveal HighRes OCT raster scans were performed on healthy participants. To mitigate the limitations of projection-resolved OCT-angiography, flow and structural data were used to observe the vascular structures of the superficial vascular complex (SVC) and the deep vascular complex. Vascular segmentation and rendering were performed using Imaris 9.5 software. Inflow and outflow patterns were classified according to vascular diameter and branching order from superficial arteries and veins, respectively.

Results

Eight eyes from eight participants were included in
