NPAs were manually annotated, and the detection rates and distribution patterns across retinal quadrants were analyzed and compared between the two imaging modalities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to UWFA, the 24\u00d720 mm SS-OCTA scan range missed 53.40% of total NPAs. The detection rates within the SS-OCTA scan range varied across quadrants: 50.58% (superior temporal), 55.33% (inferior temporal), 43.99% (superior nasal), and 43.45% (inferior nasal). NPAs were most prevalent in the inferior nasal region (40.16% of total NPAs). The ischemic index (ISI) derived independently from NPAs identified by the two imaging modalities showed a very strong positive correlation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Within the scan range of 24\u00d720 mm SS-OCTA, over 50% of total NPAs were missed compared to UWFA. However, OCTA can accurately reveal the degree of retinal ischemia within its field of view. NPA is unevenly distributed in the retina, with the predominant area being the inferior nasal region. This study suggests that this area should be prioritized for assessment in DR management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fendo.2025.1521837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,8]],"date-time":"2025-04-08T04:46:19Z","timestamp":1744087579000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Comparison
