Abstract

PURPOSE: Loss of retinal perfusion is associated with both onset and worsening of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Optical coherence tomography angiography is a noninvasive method for measuring the nonperfusion area (NPA) and has promise as a scalable screening tool. This study compares two optical coherence tomography angiography algorithms for quantifying NPA.
