... of potential artifacts that can arise and confuse the interpretation of images. The key step in interpreting SS-OCTA images involves the selection of the most appropriate segmentation strategy for the detection of MNV. In general, a slab extending from the outer retina to the choriocapillaris, referred...

..., readjusting the contours of the slabs to target different layers of interest can generate custom en face flow images. Moreover, each en face flow image is accompanied by an en face intensity image to help with the interpretation of the flow results. Current clinical experience with this technology would...

... and observational), animal experiments, plaque pH studies, and in vivo and in vitro enamel and dentine slab experiments. More recent observational epidemiological studies have adjusted for potential confounders and have reported that milk consumption is associated with lower caries experience or incidence. Other...

... targets in a slab phantom with known geometrical positions within the stereotactic frame.(3) Distortions caused by chemical shift and/or susceptibility effects were analyzed in ahead-phantom. An in-house developed software was used for data analyses. Results: The 3.0T MRI-Scanner was analyzed using...

Details are greatly improved over...

... showing slab segmentation through the pigment epithelial detachment. (Bottom row) Follow-up OCT-A 8 weeks later (interim treatment: 2 aflibercept injections). (Bottom left) 3 mm x 3 mm OCT-A en face projection image of the type 1 complex. (Bottom middle) Corresponding color-coded complex for vessel...

... density located in the outer nuclear layer directly over the PED. The B-scan registered with the OCTA scan in the bottom right corner shows the segmentation lines. In this case, the upper and lower boundaries of the slab were the RPE and the RPE with an offset of 29 mm; the slab thickness was 29 mm. e 3...

... ( a ) and deep vascular complex ( b ), and slabs in OCTA and FA ( c ). Non-Perfusion OCTA shows capillary non-perfusion in good agreement with FA. OCTA can clarify the presence of non-perfusion in the areas with diffuse leakage on FA, which may mask areas of non-perfusion (Fig. 2). Furthermore...

... and extension (early and late phases). d OCTA showed a hyperintense signal with a dense network, tiny interconnected capillaries, anastomoses, loops, peripheral anastomotic arcade, and dark halo on the choriocapillaris slab. e Swept-source optical coherence cross-sectional tomography enabled the level...

... Location of segmentation can impact the appearance of the SCP and DCP. In most normal eyes, standard segmentation provides accurate images. The SCP slab can be positioned between the internal limiting membrane (offset 3 μm) and the inner plexiform layer (offset 15 μm). The DCP slab can be positioned...

... of the subretinal neovascular complex, the segmentation was changed, and three additional layers were created representing a slab from the ORL to the choriocapillaris (CC), which is about 8 µm beneath the Bruch membrane layer; a slab from 8 to 20 µm beneath the Bruch membrane, which includes the CC and inner...

... to the in vivo situation compared with other caries models. An in situ study, in which participants rinsed with sugar 3–10 times per day for 5 days while the total amount of sugar consumed remained the same, resulted in an increased demineralization of the enamel slabs. This demineralization could be prevented...

... of various retinal layers, ranging from the internal limiting membrane to the choroid. The thickness and axial position of these slabs can also be altered to best visualize certain pathologies, offering a direct view of the suspected area of disease. The 840-nm wavelength of SD-OCTA limits our visualization...
