Comparison of Different Metrics for the Identification of Vascular Changes in Diabetic Retinopathy Using OCTA

Retinal vessel metrics identifying microvascular changes such as vessel closure (VC) have shown potential clinical value by identifying eyes with diabetic retinopathy (DR) at different severity levels and at increased risk for disease progression to more severe stages. We compare the performance of...
