Advances in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Diagnostics Editorial Team, we are delighted to present a Special Issue on the topic of Advances in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

We are currently witnessing an evolution in retinal diagnostic imaging. In recent years, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has provided non-invasive, accurate and reliable evaluation of the microvascular morphology in superficial and deep layers of the retina and choroid. It also actualizes the assessment of retinochoroidal plexi and microvascularization in different diseases. As artificial intelligence becomes more popular, the potential role of OCTA in the early diagnosis and prognosis of a variety of diseases becomes evident. This Special Issue aims to highlight the advances in the use of OCTA as a new tool applied to various clinical practices in neurology and ophthalmology, as well as in systematic pathologies.

The accepted papers will describe new applications in these areas. This Special Issue accepts high-quality articles containing original research results and case reports, as well as review articles. Additionally, reports on using image processing and artificial intelligence in the analysis of OCTA images and retinal microvasculature are welcome. The results of advanced studies on OCTA imaging and data analysis will provide a background for future applications of this modality in finding new biomarkers and early diagnosis.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
