Metric Descriptions

Heidelberg SP-X1902 Mean Expected probability of OCTA signal for a pixel in the vasculature slab
Skeleton Estimation of the center line of a blood vessel – equivalent to vessel length density
Sum Amount of OCTA signal within a vasculature slab—equivalent to vessel density
Prob Probability that OCTA signal exists in the vasculature slab
Binary Binary classification determined by whether the A-scan in the vasculature slab includes a vessel
Ves en Binarized classification, preserving small vessels
MatLab FD Mathematical measure describing the complexity of a biological structure
SFD Measure of FD when the vessels are represented as a 1-pixel wide central line of the vessel
VD Total perfused vasculature in area of binarized measurement
SVD Measure of VD when vessels are represented as a 1-pixel wide central line (vessel length density)
ImageJ FAZ area Area of foveal avascular zone (mm2)
FAZ perimeter Perimeter of foveal avascular zone (mm)
VD Total perfused vasculature in area of measurement
Fractalyse FD Complexity of vascular branching on binarized images.

Units in brackets. Arbitrary units where no units are given. OCTA, optical coherence tomography angiography; Ves en, vessel enhanced; FD, fractal dimension; SFD; skeletal fractal dimension; VD, vessel density; SVD; skeletal vessel density; FAZ, foveal avascular zone.
