Fundus autofluorescence applications in retinal imaging
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a relatively new imaging technique that can be used to study retinal diseases. It provides information on retinal metabolism and health. Several different pathologies can be detected. Peculiar AF alterations can help the clinician to monitor disease progression and to better understand its pathogenesis. In the present article, we review FAF principles and clinic...
متن کاملFundus autofluorescence imaging of retinal dystrophies
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a non-invasive imaging technique that enables the visualization of lipofuscin changes in the retinal pigment epithelium. This study aims to illustrate the spectrum of FAF changes in a variety of retinal dystrophies. For this purpose, we examined patients with retinal dystrophies such as Stargardt disease, Best vitelliform macular dystrophy, and retinal dystrophi...
متن کامل[Evaluation of fundus autofluorescence in hereditary retinal diseases using Heidelberg Retina Angiograph2].
PURPOSE To define characteristics of the fundus autofluorescence examination, verifying usefulness in the diagnosis and care of hereditary retinal diseases. METHODS 28 patients, adults, divided equally into four groups with diagnoses of Stargardt macular dystrophy, cone dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa and healthy volunteers for the establishment of the normality pattern. An average of nine im...
متن کاملMultimodal Imaging in Hereditary Retinal Diseases
Introduction. In this retrospective study we evaluated the multimodal visualization of retinal genetic diseases to better understand their natural course. Material and Methods. We reviewed the charts of 70 consecutive patients with different genetic retinal pathologies who had previously undergone multimodal imaging analyses. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and genotyped at the ...
متن کاملFundus autofluorescence imaging: Fundamentals and clinical relevance.
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF), a relatively new imaging modality, focuses on the fluorescent properties of pigments in the retina to generate images that help us view various disease processes from a different perspective. It aids us in the understanding of the pathophysiology of different retinal disorders. Recently, FAF imaging is being used commonly to help us in the diagnosis, prognosis as ...
