Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of diabetic choroidopathy using ultra-widefield indocyanine green angiography.

ABSTRACT: To investigate angiographic characteristic features of diabetic choroidopathy, as well as choroidal vascular density (CVD) and fractal dimension (CFD) in diabetic eyes and controls using ultra-widefield (UWF) indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). All patients underwent UWF fluorescein angiography and ICGA. Using imageJ software, CVD and CFD was analyzed. SFCT was assessed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The image parameters were compared based on the DR stage and the presence of diabetic macular edema (DME). One-hundred six eyes from 63 patients (59.11 ± 16.31 years; male [%]: 23 [36.5%]) were included in the DM group, and 40 eyes from 22 subjects were included in the control group. The DM group had a mean age of 59.11 ± 16.31 years and a mean HbA1c percentage of 7.72 ±
