Optovue AngioVue OCTA Imaging System — Used OCT Angiography Platform
The Optovue AngioVue is a spectral-domain OCT platform that adds OCT angiography (OCTA) to structural retinal and optic nerve imaging. The Optovue AngioVue visualizes retinal and choroidal blood flow without intravenous dye, giving practices a fast, noninvasive way to map the microvasculature during the same visit as a standard OCT scan.
AngioVue runs on the Optovue Avanti SD-OCT engine: an 840 nm light source scanning at 70,000 A-scans per second with roughly 5 µm axial resolution in tissue. Flow is extracted with the Split-Spectrum Amplitude-Decorrelation Angiography (SSADA) algorithm, which acquires a 304 × 304 OCTA volume in about three seconds. This used Optovue AngioVue ships with its electric table, CAM-L lens, power cable, and dust cover.
The National Library of Medicine indexes the original peer-reviewed description of SSADA, the method this platform uses to detect retinal blood flow with OCT angiography.
Why Practices Choose the Optovue AngioVue
- Dye-free angiography — visualizes retinal capillary networks and choroidal vessels without fluorescein or ICG injection.
- 70,000 A-scans per second — fast acquisition keeps OCTA volumes short and reduces motion artifacts.
- SSADA flow detection — split-spectrum processing improves the signal-to-noise ratio of flow maps.
- Structure plus flow in one exam — cross-sectional B-scans and en face vascular maps from the same scan.
- Retina and optic disc protocols — macular OCTA scans of 3 × 3, 6 × 6 and 8 × 8 mm plus optic nerve head angiography, depending on configuration.
- Anterior imaging lens included — the CAM-L lens ships with the system, which is supplied on its electric table.

Clinical Applications
- Diabetic retinopathy — capillary dropout, foveal avascular zone enlargement and neovascularization.
- Age-related macular degeneration — detection and follow-up of choroidal neovascularization.
- Retinal vein occlusion — mapping of non-perfused areas and collateral vessels.
- Glaucoma — evaluation of optic nerve head and peripapillary vessel density alongside structural OCT.
- Macular disease — structural OCT of the retinal layers with matching vascular maps.
- Longitudinal monitoring — repeat structural and OCTA scans across visits.
Who This Is For
- Retina specialists who need dye-free vascular imaging in clinic.
- General ophthalmology practices adding OCT angiography to structural OCT.
- Glaucoma practices assessing optic nerve head perfusion.
- Multispecialty eye clinics and research centers studying retinal microvasculature.
