Article Abstract
Purpose: Spectral-domain OCT angiography (SD-OCTA) scans were tested in an algorithm developed for use with swept-source OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) scans to determine if SD-OCTA scans yielded similar results for the detection and measurement of persistent choroidal hypertransmission defects (hyperTDs).
Design: Retrospective study.
Participants: Forty pairs of scans from 32 patients with late-stage nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: Patients underwent both SD-OCTA and SS-OCTA imaging at the same visit using the 6 × 6 mm OCTA scan patterns. Using a semiautomatic algorithm that helped with outlining the hyperTDs, 2 graders independently validated persistent hyperTDs, which are defined as having a greatest linear dimension ≥250 μm on the en face images generated using a slab extending from 64 to 400 μm beneath Bruch's membrane. The number of lesions and square root (sqrt) total area of the hyperTDs were obtained from the algorithm using each imaging method.
Main Outcome Measures: The mean sqrt area measurements and the number of hyperTDs were compared.
Results: The number of lesions and sqrt total area of the hyperTDs were highly concordant between the 2 instruments (r = 0.969 and r = 0.999, respectively). The mean number of hyperTDs was 4.3 ± 3.1 for SD-OCTA scans and 4.5 ± 3.3 for SS-OCTA scans ( = 0.06). The mean sqrt total area measurements were 1.16 ± 0.64 mm for the SD-OCTA scans and 1.17 ± 0.65 mm for the SS-OCTA scans ( < 0.001). Because of the small standard error of the differences, the mean difference between the scans was statistically significant but not clinically significant.
Conclusions: Spectral-domain OCTA scans provide similar results to SS-OCTA scans when used to obtain the number and area measurements of persistent hyperTDs through a semiautomated algorithm previously developed for SS-OCTA. This facilitates the detection of atrophy with a more widely available scan pattern and the longitudinal study of early to late-stage AMD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify novel features on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (SD-OCTA) that improve detection of polypoidal lesions in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
Methods: In this prospective study, 22 eyes from 20 patients with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) confirmed PCV underwent same-day imaging with both SD-OCTA and swept-source OCTA (SS-OCTA). Images were independently reviewed, and blinded to ICGA and each other.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of spectral-domain OCT angiography (SD-OCTA) and swept-source OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) in detecting and measuring persistent choroidal hypertransmission defects (hyperTDs) in patients with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- A total of 32 patients underwent both imaging techniques, and the results showed a high level of agreement in the number and size of hyperTDs, with correlation coefficients of 0.969 and 0.999.
- While there were some statistically significant differences in measurements, these differences were not clinically meaningful, indicating that SD-OCTA can serve as a reliable alternative to SS-OCTA for evaluating hyperTDs.

Background: To characterize and monitor choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) secondary to angioid streaks (AS) using multimodal imaging and to compare the results with conventional fluorescein angiography (FA).
Methods: A total of 11 eyes with CNV secondary to AS were included in this retrospective study. Multimodal morphological and functional assessment, including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (SD-OCTA), and fundus autofluorescence (FAF), were used to assess for evidence of CNV activity and compared with conventional FA.
