Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new and noninvasive imaging technique that generates real-time blood flow pattern on chorioretinal vasculature. In order to apply this novel technology in the practice to diagnose and treat ocular fundus diseases, we need to further strengthen the quality of OCTA image acquisition and reporting specifications. We need to understand its technical principle, and multiple factors affecting the OCTA image acquisition and interpretation. Furthermore, In the process of image acquisition, as well as analysis and interpretation, we need to pay attention to the stratification, interpretation of blood flow signals and identification of artifacts of OCTA images.
