Abstract
In this study, we present an optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) prototype using a 500 kHz high-speed swept-source laser. This system can generate a 75-degree field of view with a 10.4 µm lateral resolution with a single acquisition. With this prototype we acquired detailed, wide-field, and plexus-specific images throughout the retina and choroid in eyes with diabetic retinopathy, detecting early retinal neovascularization and locating pathology within specific retinal slabs. Our device could also visualize choroidal flow and identify signs of key biomarkers in diabetic retinopathy.
