ULTRA–WIDE-FIELD ANGIOGRAPHY IMPROVES THE DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Abstract

Compared with conventional 7SF imaging, ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography reveals significantly more retinal vascular pathology in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Improved retinal visualization may alter the classification of diabetic retinopathy and may therefore influence follow-up and treatment of these patients.
