Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

431
DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Glaucoma: Overview

1.6K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic imaging
    • Vascular imaging
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel imaging modality.
    • OCTA is primarily used for retinal disease examination.
    • Its application in iris vascularization assessment is unexplored.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of OCTA for detecting iris vascularization.
    • To achieve a 3-D reconstruction of the iris vasculature using OCTA.

    Main Methods:

    • Iris imaging in 28 eyes using AngioVue OCT with modified AngioRetina mode and anterior segment lens.
    • Manual adjustments and 3x3, 6x6 volume cube OCTA scans were performed.
    • External software was used for 3-D iris reconstruction from exported raw data.

    Main Results:

    • OCTA successfully visualized the iris vascular network in all examined eyes.
    • The 3-D reconstruction revealed superficial arterial and deeper venous systems.
    • This technique offers a non-invasive method for iris vascular assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • This study presents the first report on OCTA for iris vascularization and 3-D reconstruction.
    • The method effectively detects the iris vascular network.
    • OCTA may provide indirect information on retinal circulation when fluorescein angiography is not feasible.
