Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is a relatively new imaging technique in ophthalmology for the visualization of the retinal microcirculation and other tissues of the human eye. This review paper aims to describe the basic definitions and principles of OCT and OCTA in the most straightforward possible language without complex mathematical and engineering analysis. This is done to help health professionals of various disciplines improve their understanding of OCTA and design further clinical research more efficiently. First, the basic technical principles of OCT and OCTA and related terminology are described. Then, a list of OCTA advantages and disadvantages, with a special reference to blood flow quantification limitations. Finally, an updated list of the basic hardware and software specifications of some of the commercially available OCTA devices is presented.
