Zusammenfassung: | Introduction: Few studies have explored Multicolor™ imaging (MCI) in evaluating retinal vascular diseases, particularly branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). This study aimed to compare the identification of retinal vessel whitening in BRVO using MCI by scanning confocal laser versus conventional white flash color fundus photography (CFP). Methods: Paired images of consecutive patients diagnosed with BRVO who underwent same-day MCI and CFP were reviewed. Visualization of vessel whitening on MCI and CFP was graded and scored using a scale by two masked graders. A longitudinal analysis of the vessel grading score was performed to evaluate the vessel whitening detection by MCI. A correlation analysis was conducted between vessel whitening on MCI and the measured area of retinal ischemia on fluorescein angiography to evaluate the MCI performance. Results: Forty-four eyes of 41 patients (mean age 69±14 years; 61% female) were analyzed. MCI demonstrated superior vessel whitening visibility score than CFP (p |
