Three-dimensional Choroidal Vascularity Index in Common Fundus Diseases

Changes of Three-dimensional Choroidal Vascular Index by Optical Coherence Tomography in Common Fundus Diseases

Explore the changes of choroidal blood perfusion in common fundus diseases by three-dimensional choroidal vascularity index, an optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameter.

Compared with the choroidal vascularity index on a single OCT image, the three-dimensional choroidal vascularity index can evaluate the choroidal changes of chorioretinal diseases as a whole. In this study, the choroidal changes of patients with common fundus diseases were systematically evaluated by collecting OCT and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images of patients with common fundus diseases, especially in healthy people, myopic people and patients with central serous chorioretinopathy.
