Figure 1.
Relationship between the retinal vascular plexuses and anatomic layers. Cross-sectional projection-resolved optical coherence tomography angiograms (PR-OCTA) of a normal eye. The 4.5-mm section was taken 1-mm superior to the center of the disc. Flow signals (purple for retinal and red for choroidal blood flow) were overlaid on reflectance signal (gray scale). ILM = inner limiting membrane, NFL = nerve fiber layer, GCL = ganglion cell layer, IPL = inner plexiform layer, INL = inner nuclear layer, OPL = outer plexiform layer, ONL = outer nuclear layer, NFLP = nerve fiber layer plexus, GCLP = ganglion cell layer plexus (inner 80% of GCC excluding NFLP), SVC = superficial vascular complex (inner 80% of GCC), ICP = intermediate capillary plexus (outer 20% of GCC + inner 50% of INL), DCP = deep capillary plexus (outer 50% of INL +OPL), DVC = deep vascular complex (ICP + DCP).
