Figure 5: En face projection-resolved optical coherence tomography angiograms of four retinal vascular plexuses in the left eye of a normal human participant.

Figure 5

The angiograms are formed by the montage of four 2 × 2 mm scans. The radial peripapillary capillary plexus (RPCP) is found in the nerve fiber layer (NFL) slab. The superficial vascular plexus (SVP) slab was predominantly located in the ganglion cell layer (GCL), and was segmented as the inner 80% of the ganglion cell complex (GCC, defined as the NFL + GCL + inner plexiform layer [IPL]), excluding the NFL. The intermediate capillary plexus (ICP) was segmented between the outer 20% of the GCC to the inner 50% of the inner nuclear layer (INL). The deep capillary plexus was segmented between the outer 50% of the INL and the outer plexiform layer (OPL). High magnification images of the peripapillary RPCP, and parafoveal vascular networks of the SVP, ICP, and DCP are presented at the right, from corresponding sections indicated with white squares.
