OCT Angiography

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging technique that visualizes the microvasculature in the retina and choroid by detecting motion contrast from flowing blood. Developed by Jia and colleagues in 2012, OCTA uses repeated OCT scans of the same tissue location to identify blood flow based on the decorrelation signal. It has become a critical diagnostic tool in ophthalmology for detecting retinal and macular diseases without requiring fluorescein injection.
