Analysis of quantitative correlations between microaneurysm, ischaemic index and new vessels in ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography images using automated software

Abstract

The automated software allowed prompt and quantitative analysis of UWF-FA images of DMR. MAs were most frequent in the nasal and mid-peripheral retina, with their density being highest in the posterior pole and nasal retina. Ischaemic index increased with distance from the posterior pole, showing strong correlation with central foveal thickness in all retinal areas except the posterior pole.
