Angio OCT, Dye Less Angiography, A New Approach of Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD)
نویسنده
چکیده
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging of any tissue we can analyze with a light source [1], OCT became the gold standard for retinal disease during the last decade and take the most important place in multimodal exploration in retinal diseases. Time domain OCT (TD OCT) first, spectral domain OCT (SD OCT) and swept source OCT (SS OCT) now, are the best friends for the retinal daily practice of any ophthalmologists. OCT (SD and SS) [2,3], permit an anatomic analysis of retinal tissue with now high resolution near to the μmeter, three dimensional imaging, the accuracy of these devices permit many clinical use in retinal pathology, glaucoma even in neuro ophthalmology. Angio OCT or angiography dye less is a new method of retinal imaging based on high resolution analysis which permit to visualizate retinal and choroidal vessels.

Axial and Posterior Wall Thickness Elastic Modulus of Eyes in Age-related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Patients Compared to Healthy Individuals Using Ultrasound Images
Background & Aims: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the common retina disorders that can lead to loss of vision by increase in age. In this study, the efficacy of a non-invasive ultrasound technique for the evaluation of alastic properties of eye in the diagnosis of ARMD has been evaluated. Methods: For estimation of the elastic modulus of eye, spatial loading system designed a...

Background and Aims: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a degenerative retinal disorder that causes progressive loss of central vision in older adults. The study aimed to determine the effect of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as oxidizing metabolite and paraoxonase (PON1) activity within its phenotypes as an antioxidant agent in the development of such multifactorial disease. Mater...

Retinal vascular diseases are important causes of vision loss. A detailed evaluation of the vascular abnormalities facilitates diagnosis and treatment in these diseases. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography using the highly efficient split-spectrum amplitude decorrelation angiography algorithm offers an alternative to conventional dye-based retinal angiography. OCT angiography has sev...
متن کاملAge-related macular degeneration and hyperbaric oxygen.
We read with interest the study by Dr. Jeffrey Weiss concerning age-related macular degeneration (ARMD/ AMD) and hyperbaric oxygen [1]. Dr. Weiss is to be commended for his interest in this area of research. However, we disagree with the data Dr. Weiss cites to support his conclusion that all 14 patients showed improvement. We believe that visual field examination plays no important role in ass...
