Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel imaging technique that enables three dimensional images of retinal and choroidal vasculature.In this study OCTA is performed using the RTVue XR Avanti device (ReVue software, Optovue Inc, Fremont, California, USA) with the Angio Retina mode (3×3 mm ) by experienced technicians. Each OCTA volume is acquired in approximately 3 seconds and 2 orthogonal OCTA volume are acquired to perform motion correction. Retinal images are evaluated and graded for presence and severity of artifacts by two independent examiners using a validated grading system designed by our group . OCTA is done once off visit at the time of diagnosis
