Atypical Autofluorescence Findings in Geographic Atrophy: The Influence of Age-Related Choroidal Atrophy
In patients with GA and concomitant ARCA, atypical FAF patterns on UWF imaging complicate the accurate delineation and monitoring of GA. Atypical FAF patterns appear due to the properties of the confocal apertures and postprocessing features of UWF imaging that allow for the detection of scleral autofluorescence in patients with reduced choroidal vasculature, pigment and thickness. In patients with concomitant ARCA, multimodal imaging plays a crucial role in precisely identifying and tracking GA progression.
