Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography: A Window into Central Nervous System Neurodegeneration

Aaditya Shah et al. Trends Mol Med. 2020 Oct.

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) allows noninvasive visualization of intraocular tissues with high resolution. Recently, an innovative use of this technology in studying neurodegenerative diseases has emerged with the neurosensory retina as a unique window into deeper brain tissues. Here, we discuss its role in identifying biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases.

Keywords: angiography; neurodegeneration; ocular imaging; retina.
