Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of 3 optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) devices to measure lesion area in patients with macular neovascularization (MNV) with type 1, 2 and mixed neovascularization (NV). Methods: OCTA, fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed. NV lesion area measurements were performed by two graders. Results: < 0.001). Conclusions: The ORCC slabs showed the highest detection rate for NV detection independently to the device used, and swept source (SS)-OCTA measurements of ORCC slabs showed the highest detection rate of NVs compared to the spectral domain (SD)-OCTA. Translational Relevance: It is pivotal to realize how much we can rely on OCTA to make a diagnosis of NV.
