OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY AFTER PHOTOCOAGULATION OF TYPE 2 NEOVASCULARIZATION.

2016 
To illustrate errors in the automated segmentation image analysis of optical coherence tomography angiography after laser photocoagulation therapy for Type 2 neovascularization.This case report describes a patient with extrafoveal Type 2 neovascularization treated with argon laser photocoagulation evaluated before and after treatment by optical coherence tomography angiography.Disrupted retinal layers after laser photocoagulation therapy lead to segmentation errors.Images of optical coherence tomography angiography are prone to degradation by artifacts in cases in which there is disruption of the retinal layers. Clinicians must be aware of these errors because they can be misinterpreted as active Type 2 neovascularization. Improvement in optical coherence tomography angiography image analysis to minimize automated segmentation errors needs to be further explored.
