Clinical OCT Angiography Atlas / Marco Rispoli, Bruno Lumbroso, David Huang, Yali Jia, Maria Cristina Savastano

The first edition of the Clinical OCT Angiography Atlas was a landmark in the clinical and scientific development of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). It is published in 2015, only one year after the commercial introduction of OCT angiography, the Atlas led international awareness and acceptance of OCTA, providing a reference not only for interpreting this new imaging modality, but also mapping the range of possible clinical applications, and predicting its future potential. Since that time, clinical and fundamental science research groups have performed extensive studies on a broad range of ocular pathologies and all major commercial ophthalmic manufacturers have introduced OCTA instruments. OCTA is performed at points of care ranging from retinal, glaucoma, and neuro-ophthalmology to comprehensive ophthalmology, and optometry.
OCT angiography provides critical new information on three-dimensional microvascular structure in the retina, choriocapillaris, and optic nerve head. It enables visualization and quantification of pathology such as capillary nonperfusion and neovascularization with a clarity and accuracy that was previously unachievable. The ability to image on every patient visit, where fluorescein or indocyanine green angiography would not be indicated, has enabled powerful studies of disease progression and treatment response. At the same time, OCTA is inherently more complicated than structural OCT and special care is required to clinically interpret OCTA image data. The scope, complexity, and promise of this new imaging modality have attracted a diverse community researchers in fundamental science, engineering, and image analysis to clinical ophthalmology.
The second edition of the Clinical OCT Angiography Atlas is edited by Marco Rispoli, David Huang, Yali Jia, Maria Cristina Savastano, and Bruno Lumbroso provides a comprehensive view of the state of the art in OCTA clinical applications, research, and technology. Extensive new material has been added to reflect key advances. The contributing authors are international leaders in clinical medicine, fundamental science, and technology, providing complementary perspectives on the exciting and impactful developments in this field.

Preface to the second edition
The first edition of this OCT Angiography Atlas was published in 2015, when optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) was a fairly new imaging modality. It was one of the first books in the world about the clinical use of this new noninvasive technology.
OCT angiography offers precise and separate visualization of blood flow in the four retinal vascular plexuses, showing the complexity of its networks. It has introduced revolutionary new understanding of retinal vascular anatomy.
OCT angiography is today widely available to eye practitioners. Since the first edition of this Atlas, it has seen shattering new developments and exponential adoption. OCTA is recognized all over the world as an indispensable device for study, diagnosis, and follow-up of retinal diseases and glaucoma in everyday clinical work and research. OCT angiography has replaced, in most fields, the more invasive dye-based angiography. Fluorescein angiography is no longer the gold standard of retinal vascular imaging.
This new edition of the Clinical OCT Angiography Atlas wishes to show the innovative principles of clinical OCTA imaging. As in the first edition, the key word is “clinical”, helping users to interpret OCTA images, guiding clinicians to understand the features of angiographic images. This Atlas edition has been deeply transformed and developed. All chapters have been completely rewritten; some are entirely new and groundbreaking. We report the great advances OCTA has obtained in the clinical field. OCTA allowed us to identify new pathologies, recognize new syndromes, and organize disorders in new classifications. Known diseases are now better understood and new diseases are described. In this book, the operating principles, clinical applications, and future promises of OCTA are clearly explained by world-renowned original developers of the technology.
Optical coherence tomographic angiography holds an immense practical interest for clinical ophthalmology and its importance will continue to grow in the coming years. We trust this handbook will help ophthalmologists, optometrists, residents, and ophthalmic technicians to understand and appreciate the new possibilities offered by the use of OCTA in everyday clinical practice.

Preface to the first edition
OCT angiography is a new high resolution imaging method for visualizing the retinal and choroidal circulation without the injection of any dye. By rapidly detecting intravascular flow when needed and being able to repeat the images, as often as necessary, at no risk to the patient, clinicians will come to appreciate OCT angiography as one of the most important applications of en face OCT imaging because of its ability to offer precise visualization of intravascular flow in the inner and outer retinal layers, as well as the inner choroid. An added advantage of this imaging strategy is that the same images acquired during OCT angiography can also be viewed as typical OCT B-scans. While it is no longer the domain of just a few privileged researchers and retina specialists, OCT angiography is now widely available to eye practitioners. As the quality of OCT angiography imaging improves and its availability becomes even more widespread, we predict that this noninvasive technology will become a new standard for imaging both the retinal and choroidal vasculature and anatomy.
The aim of this Clinical OCT Angiography Atlas is to show OCT users the utility of clinical OCT angiography imaging. The keyword is ‘clinical’. We hope to develop interest in the use of OCT angiography in everyday clinical activities and help users interpret OCT angiographic images. The operating principles and the future of OCT angiography are explained by some of the original developers of the technology, and well-known authors from around the world wrote the clinical chapters. This atlas should guide the general ophthalmologists to select the best OCT angiographic views and to be able to identify the typical and atypical features of the OCT angiographic images.
The everyday use of OCT angiographic imaging in the clinics has already generated enormous interest and its importance will grow rapidly in the next few years. Our atlas is designed to appeal a wide audience with interest in a variety disorders. We hope that this atlas fulfills a huge unmet clinical need to learn more about OCT angiography.
