Optical coherence tomography angiography optovue a very basic lecture detailing the new advancement of dyeless angiography by spectral domain OCT system and SSADA and Motion correction algorithm
14. How Does OCT-A Work?
So smart, so simple
OCT image is a structural, cross-sectional, B-scan image.
OCT works by sending a long-wavelength light, then detecting
changes that occurred on the tissue-reflected light; thereby, it
converts the reflected light into an image.
15. How Does OCT-A Work?
So smart, so simple
OCT-A machine captures multiple conventional
structural OCT images at the same site.
Then, it compares the resulting differences
between them (decorrelation):
If the imaged area is avascular, then no
difference among the multiple images will be
detected, and the OCT-A will appear black.
17. How Does OCT-A Work?
So smart, so simple
If the imaged area is
vascular, intravascular
turbulence will cause
differences among
the multiple images;
this difference will be
depicted as vessels..
