Alzheimer’s disease may be detectable from changes in the foveal avascular zone

Evaluating changes in the foveal avascular zone using OCT angiography to identify Alzheimer’s disease may be a quicker, easier and less invasive diagnostic strategy than traditional methods, according to a speaker.
“This suggests that once we use machine learning and artificial intelligence, AD may be detectable at early stages and noninvasively by techniques such as OCT angiography. It might help us identify resilient individuals, but also individuals at high risk for developing AD in the future,” Rajendra S. Apte, MD, PhD, said at Retinal Subspecialty Day at the virtual
