Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) provides a non-invasive method to obtain angiography of the chorioretinal vasculature leading to its recent widespread adoption. With a growing number of studies exploring the use of OCTA, various biomarkers quantifying the vascular characteristics have come to light. In the current report, we summarize the biomarkers currently described for retinal and choroidal vasculature using OCTA systems and the methods used to obtain them. Further, we present a critical review of these methods and key findings in common retinal diseases and appraise future directions, including applications of artificial intelligence in OCTA.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) provides a non-invasive method to obtain angiography of the chorioretinal vasculature leading to its recent widespread adoption. With a growing number of studies exploring the use of OCTA, various biomarkers quantifying the vascular characteristics have come to light. In the current report, we summarize the biomarkers currently described for retinal and choroidal vasculature using OCTA systems and the methods used to obtain them. Further, we present a critical review of these methods and key findings in common retinal diseases and appraise future directions, including applications of artificial intelligence in OCTA.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
