Spectralis HRA+OCT Found Helpful in Managing Geographic Atrophy

A recent study published in the peer-reviewed journal Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science concluded that the pixel-to-pixel correspondence between the OCT image and the FAF (or red-free image) makes it easier to find small lesions on the FAF, as well as to analyze them on OCT.  This method may help to observe small lesions longitudinally.  The investigators also noted that the key to understanding ARMD pathogenesis lies in in vivo depiction of retinal layers by spectral-domain OCT technology in combination with fundus imaging with modalities such as FAF.
