| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was performed with multiple retinal scan time settings to visualize and evaluate retinal vascular structures with slow blood flow that could not be detected by conventional imaging, in order to explore useful findings for DR treatment. The OCTA images obtained from the imaging were analyzed using image analysis software to detect retinal vessels with slow blood flow, analyze their morphological characteristics, and evaluate their distribution and quantity. The results of this research were then published in an English paper.
