OCT angiography may have place in in CNV imaging

WAILEA, Hawaii – OCT angiography does reasonably well in detecting choroidal neovascularization, except when there are large amounts of subretinal hemorrhage present, according to a presenter at Retina 2015.Whereas fluorescein angiography is still the gold standard for diagnosing new vessels such as choroidal neovascular lesions and ruling out diseases that mimic age-related macular degeneration, many clinicians do not readily use it, Nadia K.
