Figure 1.
Swept-source OCT angiography (OCTA; 3×3 mm) of an asymptomatic eye from a patient with nonexudative age-related macular degeneration followed up for 18 months without exudation. A, B, Optical coherence tomography B-scan (A) superior to the fovea and (B) through the fovea with colorcoded flow represented as red for the retinal microvasculature, pink for the outer retina-to-choriocapillaris (ORCC) slab, and green for the remainder of the choroid. Note the pink coloration under the retinal pigment epithelium and above Bruch’s membrane, which represents the type 1 macular neovascularization. C, Swept-source OCTA en face ORCC slab image with removal of retinal vessel projection artifacts showing a multilobular and multifocal neovascular complex that extends to the boundaries of scan area. The dotted and dashed lines represent the B-scans contained in (A) and (B), respectively. D, E, Images obtained 4 months after those in (A–C): OCT B-scans with color-coded flow (D) superior to the fovea and (E) through the fovea. F, Swept-source OCTA en face ORCC slab image with removal of retinal vessel projection artifacts. The dotted and dashed lines represent the B-scans contained in (D) and (E), respectively. G, H, Images obtained 14 months after those in (D–F): OCT B-scans with color-coded flow (G) superior to the fovea and (H) through the fovea. I, Swept-source OCTA en face ORCC slab image with removal of retinal vessel projection artifacts. The dotted and dashed lines represent the B-scans contained in (G) and (H), respectively.
