Progression of Diabetic Capillary Occlusion: A Model
Fig 11
(CASE 1) retinal thickness over time.
Thickness of the retinal layer is represented by a color map at the end of year 0.5 (A), year 1 (B), year 2 (C) and year 3 (D). Color represents the magnitude in Z axis. The bluer the color, the thicker a local retinal area is. Fluid appeared between year 1 and year 2, at the venous edge of the area of occlusion. The flow network is overlaid upon the color map to present patent flow paths at the time point of observation. Color bar only represents the thickness of tissue but not the flow velocities. “FAZ” in the figure refers to foveal avascular zone, “A” in red refers to arteriole, and “V” refers to venule.
