description | To assess a new optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) technology and its contribution to retinal vascularization and choriocapillaris (CC) exploration.
A new module, named "Beam expander" (BE), which increases the lateral resolution of OCTA, was used in combination with a prototype software in the PLEX® Elite 9000 Swept-Source OCT instrument (ZEISS, Dublin, CA). This prospective study involved 22 healthy subjects imaged with and without BE. Qualitative analysis of superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary complex (DCC) retinal and CC angiograms were performed. Perfusion density (PD), vessel density (VD), and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) measurements were also compared.
Qualitative analysis of single SCP and DCC retinal angiograms acquired with BE showed significantly better vessel sharpness (respectively, p = 0.0002, and p |

Qualitative analysis of single SCP and DCC retinal angiograms acquired with BE showed significantly better vessel sharpness (respectively, p = 0.0002, and p<0.0001), and greater peripheral image quality (p = 0.028 and p = 0.007) compared to standard OCTA images. Mean VD of whole retina single scans was significantly higher for BE angiograms compared to classic angiograms (28.16 ±1.29 mm-1 and 23.36 ±0.92 mm-1, respectively, p<0.0001). Repeatability of VD, PD and FAZ raw size were found to be similar between the two methods (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.671, 0.604 and 0.994 with BE versus 0.764, 0.638 and 0.990 without BE). CC image quality was found to be significantly superior with BE, and flow deficits were more visible in all BE scans compared to standard scans.
