Choroidal imaging: A review.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Being the most vascular tissue of the eye, importance of the choroid has been very well established in various retinal and chorio-retinal diseases. Understanding of the choroidal structures has improved significantly since the evolution of enhanced depth imaging. Quantitative assessment of choroidal measurements has been found to be reproducible using different devices. This review article describes factors affecting choroidal thickness and choroidal changes in several diseases and reports its clinical importance. Evaluation of choroid would provide insight into the pathogenesis, treatment planning and follow up in chorioretinal diseases.

Evaluation of Normal Choroidal Thickness in Rasht Using SD-OCT EDI Imaging
Purpose: To measure choroidal thickness in normal subjects, using optical coherent tomography (OCT) in Rasht. Methods: Normal subjects older than 20 years, living in Rasht, were selected through systematic random sampling by using the city telephone directory. The subjects underwent comprehensive eye examinations for inclusion in the study. Then, choroidal thickness was measured in both eyes by...
متن کاملChoroidal Imaging Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography
Background—A structurally and functionally normal choroidal vasculature is essential for retinal function. Therefore, a precise clinical understanding of choroidal morphology should be important for understanding many retinal and choroidal diseases. Methods—PUBMED (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed) was used for most of the literature search for this article. The criterion for ...
متن کاملChoroidal Mapping; a Novel Approach for Evaluating Choroidal Thickness and Volume
There are a limited number of non-invasive imaging techniques available for assessing the choroid, a structure that may be affected by a variety of retinal disorders or become primarily involved in conditions such as polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and choroidal tumors. The introduction of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) has provided the advantage of in vivo cros...

متن کاملBaseline subfoveal choroidal thickness as an indicator for bevacizumab outcomes in central retinal vein occlusion
Background: Retinal vein occlusions are one of the most common form of retinal vascular disorders and could lead to vision loss due to macular edema, macular ischemia and sequelae from neovascularization. Anti-venous endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment is the choice strategy of treatment for patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). There is an ...
