OCTA Could Help Detect Alzheimer’s in Its Early Stages DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 2, 2018 — Researchers at Duke University used optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), a noninvasive imaging technique, to show that the small blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye are altered in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers compared the retinas of Alzheimer’s patients with those of people with mild cognitive impairment, as well as healthy people. They found that the Alzheimer’s group had loss of small retinal blood vessels at the back of the eye and that a...
