As a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) modality, OCT angiography (OCTA) provides a noninvasive method to detect microvascular distortions correlated with eye conditions. By providing unparalleled capability to differentiate individual plexus layers in the retina, OCTA has demonstrated its excellence in clinical management of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, sickle cell retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, and other eye diseases. Quantitative OCTA analysis of retinal and choroidal vasculatures is essential to standardize objective interpretations of clinical outcome. Quantitative features, including blood vessel tortuosity, blood vessel caliber, blood vessel density, vessel perimeter index, fovea avascular zone area, fovea avascular zone contour irregularity, vessel branching coefficient, vessel branching angle, branching width ratio, and choroidal vascular analysis have been established for objective OCTA assessment. Moreover, differential artery–vein analysis has been recently demonstrated to improve OCTA performance for objective detection and classification of eye diseases. In this review, technical rationales and clinical applications of these quantitative OCTA features are summarized, and future prospects for using these quantitative OCTA features for artificial intelligence classification of eye conditions are discussed.
Impact statement
