Application and problems of optical coherence tomography in clinical diagnosis and treatment of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a fundus disease that can cause severe visual impairment. At present, the gold standard for the diagnosis of PCV is indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). Due to its invasiveness and inconvenience in clinical application, researchers are exploring the use of non-invasive optical coherence tomography (OCT) in clinical diagnosis and follow-up of PCV, and non-invasive diagnostic criteria based on OCT are gradually emerging. However, in the clinical application of this technology, there are still some problems, such as poor imaging effect, unclear diagnosis, over-reliance on OCT technology, complex follow-up situations and so on. This paper intends to review the current situation, new diagnostic criteria and related problems of OCT in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PCV, in order to provide reference for ophthalmologists.
