摘要
PurposeTo investigate the relationship between the macular values of fractal dimension (FD) and lacunarity (LAC) on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) images and the presence of peripheral retina non-perfusion areas (NPAs) on fluorescein angiography (FA) in patients with treatment-naive diabetic macular edema (DME).MethodsFifty patients with treatment-naive DME underwent a full ophthalmic examination, including best-corrected visual acuity measurement, FA, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and OCTA. Specifically, FA was performed to detect the presence of retinal NPAs, whereas fractal OCTA analysis was used to determine macular FD and LAC values at the level of the superficial and deep capillary plexus (SCP and DCP). FA montage frames of the posterior pole and peripheral retina, as well as macular OCTA slabs of the SCP and DCP, were obtained.ResultsThirty (60%) eyes with FA evidence of peripheral retinal NPAs in at least one quadrant showed significantly lower FD and higher LAC in both SCP and DCP, when compared with eyes presenting a well-perfused peripheral retina. Furthermore, macular FD and LAC values were found to be significantly associated with the extent of retinal NPAs.ConclusionsMacular FD and LAC of both SCP and DCP seem to be strongly associated with the extent of peripheral retinal NPAs, thus suggesting that may be useful predictive biomarkers of peripheral ischemia in treatment-naive DME eyes.
