U.S., Sept. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07818239) titled 'Optical Imaging of Retinal Vascular Metrics Under Different Dietary Conditions' on Sept. 03.
Brief Summary: In a typical clinical setting, patient eating habits are not controlled when performing optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging for retinal diagnostics. Nevertheless, the timing of the patient's most recent meal has the potential to impact OCT metrics particularly for those involving blood vessels, such as vascular density. Studies have shown that eating a high fat meal can increase blood fat levels in the hours following the meal. In particular, chylomicrons, the fat particles that will most likely affect the OCT signal, ...
