OCTA is able to detect capillary dropout and nonexudative choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which may be missed by traditional imaging modalities such as fluorescein angiograph (FA) / indocyanine green angiograph (ICGA), and are risk factors for vision loss. This dissertation presents technical achievements in plexus-specific micro-vascular disorder detection on OCTA, including (i) projection artifacts removal, (ii) macular ischemia detection in vascular layers in the inner retina, (iii) CNV detection in the outer retina, and (iv) wide-field OCTA generated by stitching miltiple small-field OCTA seamlessly. 000009973 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009973 650__ $$aAngiography$$014747 000009973 650__ $$aChoroidal Neovascularization$$032269 000009973 650__ $$aDeep Learning$$012734 000009973 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009973 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000009973 7001_ $$aWang, Jie 000009973 8564_ $$9f7542f51-1e76-4b30-a82a-cd295bbdd9c6$$s74813019$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9973/files/Wang.Jie.2022.pdf 000009973 905__ $$a/rest/prod/0k/22/5b/92/0k225b929 000009973 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9973$$pstudent-work 000009973 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
