Abstract
PURPOSE: To compare fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in the evaluation of macular perfusion in diabetic patients. METHODS: Forty-one eyes (21 diabetic patients) seen at Moorfields Eye Hospital (London) over a 1-month interval underwent color fundus photography, FFA, and SS-OCTA imaging of the capillary superficial plexus using 2 different protocols: 3 × 3 mm and 4.5 × 4.5 mm. Quantitative assessment (foveal avascular zone diameters and area), qualitative analysis (macroscopic and microscopic levels) and Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study diabetic macular ischemia grading were performed. Artifacts were recorded. Intraclass correlation coefficients and weighted kappa values were calculated. RESULTS: Mean (SD) foveal avascular zone area was 0.695 (0.52) mm on FFA, 0.627 (0.54) mm on SS-OCTA 3 × 3 and 0.701 (0.54) mm on SS-OCTA 4.5 × 4.5 protocol. Intraclass correlation coefficients showed good agreement between FFA and SS-OCTA for both vertical diameter and foveal avascular zone area measurements. The agreement between SS-OCTA 3 × 3 and 4.5 × 4.5 was good for all quantitative measurements. Weighted kappa for diabetic macular ischemia grading showed low to fair agreement between FFA and SS-OCTA, whereas the agreement was good between two different SS-OCTA protocols. CONCLUSION: Swept-source OCTA is a reproducible technique in the assessment of macular perfusion in diabetic patients with special regards to foveal avascular zone analysis. The agreement with FFA is limited especially for diabetic macular ischemia grading. Fundus fluorescein angiography is more sensitive in identifying microaneurysms.
