眼底自发荧光在年龄相关性黄斑变性中的应用指南(2023)

Guidelines for the application of the fundus autofluorescence in age-related macular degeneration(2023)

摘要:

眼底自发荧光(FAF)成像是基于视网膜色素上皮和脉络膜中的眼内源性荧光团激发的荧光进行成像的技术，荧光激发物质主要是脂褐质(LF)和黑色素。由于该无创检查技术可通过观察LF和黑色素在眼底的空间分布来反映视网膜色素上皮的功能状况，在诊断、鉴别和随访年龄相关性黄斑变性(ARMD)上具有独特优势。本指南即对FAF在ARMD不同阶段和分类上的临床应用进行规范和解读。

Abstract:

Fundus autofluorescence(FAF)imaging is based on the fluorescence excited by the endogenous fluorophores in the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid, mainly referring to lipofuscin(LF)and melanin. The non-invasive examination method can imply the function of retinal pigment epithelium by observing the spatial distribution of LF or melanin. This technique has unique advantages in the diagnosis and differentiation of age-related macular degeneration(ARMD). This guideline is to standardize and interpret the application of FAF in different stages and classifications of ARMD.
