The MNV was delineated and the data were processed via ImageJ. The parameters MNV area, nodes per area, fractal dimension (FD), and flow density were analyzed using MatLab.Results: There was close agreement between the two devices regarding MNV area (ICCc 0.977, ICCa 0.977, R2 0.977), but only slight agreement regarding nodes per area (ICCa 0.008, ICCc 0.548, R2 0.51), FD (ICCa 0.425, ICCc 0.846, R2 0.96), and flow density (ICCa 0.451, ICCc 0.656, R2 0.65). The difference between the two devices was insignificant for MNV area (type 1: p=0.328; type 2: p=0.426; type 3: p=0.615), but significant for nodes per area (type 1: p=0.002; type 2: p=0.00001; type 3: p=0.003), FD (type 1: p< 0.00001; type 2: p< 0.00001; type 3: p=0.015) and flow density (type 1: p=0.0004; type 2: p=0.004; type 3: p=0.052).Conclusion: MNV area is closely comparable between devices using SS-OCTA and SD-OCTA imaging. However, the two methods differ significantly in their precise assessment of the vascular morphology (FD, flow density, nodes per area). Therefore, results obtained using different devices are not comparable and should not be amalgamated in clinical trials.Keywords: choroidal neovascularization, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, optical coherence tomography angiographyFaatz HRothaus KZiegler MBook MLommatzsch CSpital GGutfleisch MPauleikhoff DLommatzsch ADove Medical Pressarticlechoroidal neovascularizationneovascular age-related macular degenerationoptical coherence tomography angiographyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3179-3186 (2020) |
