Quantitative Assessment of Three-Dimensional Choroidal Vascularity and Choriocapillaris Flow Signal Voids in Myopic Patients Using SS-OCTA
Purpose: To compare the choroidal vascularity of large- and middle-sized choroidal vessels and choriocapillaris (CC) perfusion in patients with different degrees of myopia using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). Methods: One hundred and thirteen people with myopia were...

Methods: One hundred and thirteen people with myopia were enrolled. SS-OCTA was performed to analyze the choroidal vascularity and CC perfusion. Three-dimensional (3D) choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and choroidal luminal volumes (LV) were obtained by artificial intelligence segmentation of the choroidal lumen in Volume OCT images. CC perfusion was assessed by flow signal voids (FSVs). Results: In the macular, multiple linear regression model showed that choroidal thickness (CT), total choroidal volume, LV, and choroidal stromal volume were negatively correlated with axis length (AL), respectively (all <i>p</i> < 0.001). Three dimensional CVI was negatively associated with AL (<i>p</i> < 0.05). FSV% was positively correlated with age only (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Additionally, after adjustment for age and AL, FSV% had a significant negative correlation with CT (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Conclusion: Choroidal vascularity decreases gradually with increasing severity of myopia. The decrease of CC blood perfusion was related to a higher severity of myopia and the thinning of choroid.Amin XuGongpeng SunChaoye DuanZhen ChenChangzheng ChenMDPI AGarticlemyopiathree-dimensional choroidal vascularity indexchoriocapillarisflow signal voidsswept-source optical coherence tomography angiographyMedicine (General)R5-920ENDiagnostics, Vol 11, Iss 1948, p 1948 (2021) |
