OCTangiography is the next step in imaging; developed to visualize vessels in a new way that allows clinicians to identify retinal circulation using the intrinsic motion of the blood cells. It’s going to drastically alter how retina specialists think about imaging. FFA is the criterion standards for evaluation of retinal circulation, but paradoxically 2 of the 3 major capillary networks are not imaged, despite retina being transparent. Rapidly performed scans is analyzed for variation in reflectivity and phase shift to construct flow maps – collectively referred to as OCT-A. These findings may portend important consequences in our understanding of the associations between retinal vasculature and ocular diseases. It is important to understand how information gathered from OCT-A images differs from FFA, and provide an important additional diagnostic device to your armamentarium which will be the highlight of our course along with a bit of swept source and wide field OCT to add spice to it
