  1. Decreased Retinal Vascular Density in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): An Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2021-01-15 Brain scans and imaging

    The superficial vascular density in the AD and MCI patient groups was significantly lower than that in the HC group.

  2. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Review

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Eye and brain 2020-07-14 Brain scans and imaging

    Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) has emerged as a novel, fast, safe and non-invasive imaging technique of analyzing the retinal and choroidal microvasculature in vivo.

  3. Retinal microvascular attenuation in mental cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease by optical coherence tomography angiography

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Acta ophthalmologica 2020-03-09 Brain scans and imaging

    Our findings demonstrated the macular microvascular attenuation in MCI and AD patients.

  4. Comparison of Retinal Microvasculature in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Investigative ophthalmology & visual science 2019-08-01 Brain scans and imaging

    AD and POAG are neurodegenerative diseases associated with apoptosis of nerve cells and impairment of microvasculature.

  5. Optical coherence tomography angiography in preclinical Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. The British journal of ophthalmology 2019-05-22 Brain scans and imaging

    Retinal vessel density was higher in individuals with preclinical AD.

  6. Evaluation of Ocular Perfusion in Alzheimer's Disease Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2018-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Patients with AD showed a reduced flow density in the radial peripapillary capillaries layer and in the superficial retinal OCT angiogram when compared with healthy controls.

  7. Optical coherence tomography angiography: an overview of the technology and an assessment of applications for clinical research

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. The British journal of ophthalmology 2016-10-04 Brain scans and imaging

    In recent years, ophthalmology has experienced significant developments with respect to imaging modalities.
