To examine the definition, rationale, and effects of thresholding in OCT angiography (OCTA).
A theoretical description of OCTA thresholding in combination with qualitative and quantitative analysis of the effects of OCTA thresholding in eyes from a retrospective case series.
Four eyes were qualitatively examined: 1 from a 27-year-old control, 1 from a 78-year-old exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patient, 1 from a 58-year-old myopic patient, and 1 from a 77-year-old nonexudative AMD patient with geographic atrophy (GA). One eye from a 75-year-old nonexudative AMD patient with GA was quantitatively analyzed.
A theoretical thresholding model and a qualitative and quantitative description of the dependency of OCTA on thresholding level.
Due to the presence of system noise, OCTA thresholding is a necessary step in forming OCTA images; however, thresholding can complicate the relationship between blood flow and OCTA signal.
Thresholding in OCTA can cause significant artifacts, which should be considered when interpreting and quantifying OCTA images.
