Optimizing the protocol for retinal vascular permeability mapping from fluorescein videoangiography data.

An intact blood-retinal barrier is critical to maintaining the function of the retina. Many diseases of the eye have been directly associated with impairment in vascular permeability, and methods to measure vascular permeability could offer a window into early detection of disease; however, there exist no direct measures of vascular permeability that have be translated to the clinic. This work details a complete clinical workflow to quantify vascular permeability and volumetric blood flow from fluorescein videoangiography data, with validation through realistic simulations. For optimizing the protocol, this study carried on frame rate of fluorescein videoangiography to generate a high-resolution image while minimizing the error.
