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...

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Summary

Premature infants show altered foveal development, with changes in retinal vascularity and neurosensory layers detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). Further research is needed to determine if these changes are due to prematurity or retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Developmental Biology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Foveal development involves intricate neurovascular interactions, making it susceptible to complications from prematurity.
  • Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant concern in premature infants, potentially impacting visual development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effects of prematurity on foveal development using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA).
  • To assess changes in the neurosensory and vascular components of the fovea in preterm infants.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and Cochrane Library databases.
  • Fifteen relevant studies were reviewed, analyzing data from preterm infants assessed with OCT and OCTA.

Main Results:

  • OCTA revealed a reduced foveal avascular zone area and increased foveal vessel density in preterm infants.
  • OCT demonstrated decreased foveal pit depth and thickened subfoveal retinal layers.
  • Some studies linked these OCT and OCTA findings to diminished visual acuity.

Conclusions:

  • Preterm infants exhibit alterations in both the vascular and neurosensory retina.
  • The precise cause of these retinal changes—whether prematurity itself or ROP and its treatment—requires further investigation.
