Table 2 Reliability estimates of quantitative optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) metrics measurements using an automated analysis program in a subset of 30 eyes from 30 diabetic participants. Two OCT-A scans were acquired during first visit for these participants for intra-session repeatability assessment. These 30 patients were also invited for another visit for OCT-A scan within 2 weeks for inter-session reproducibility assessment.
