Abstract

Purpose : To evaluate the reproducibility and interuser agreement of measurements of choroidal neovascularization in optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), given that OCT-A provides a non-anatomical measurement of flow within choroidal neovascular lesions.



Methods : Prospective non interventional study. Consecutive patients, presenting with neovascular age related macular degeneration (AMD), underwent two sequential OCT-A examinations (AngioVue, Optovue Inc., Freemont, California), performed by the same trained examiner. Neovascular lesion area was then measured on both examinations in the choriocapillaris automatic segmentation by two masked readers, using the semiautomated measuring software embedded in the instrument. Two measuring features were used: the first corresponding to the total manually contoured lesion area with the flow draw tool (select area) and the second to the total area of solely vessels with high flow within the lesion (vessel area). These measurements were then compared in order to assess both the reproducibility of OCT-A examination and the inter-user agreement with the embedded software.

Results : Fourty-eight eyes of 46 patients (77.4 mean age, +/- 8.2 SD, range from 62 to 95 years old, 8 males, 38 females) were included in our study. Mean choroidal neovascularization area was of 0.72 +/- 0.7 mm2 for the first measure and 0.75 +/- 0.76 mm2 for the second measure; mean difference between the first and the second measurement was 0.73 mm2. Intra-user agreement was of 0.98 (confidence interval 0.98-0.99) for both “vessel area” and “select area” features. Inter-user agreement was of 0.98 (confidence interval 0.97-0.99) for “select area” and “vessel area” features.

Conclusions : Our data suggests that OCT-A is a reproducible examination for the neovascular size in the context of neovascular AMD.
