New Imaging Techniques

  • Chapter

Abstract

Recent advances in ophthalmic imaging have enabled unprecedented documentation of ocular fundus findings in patients with diseases affecting the retina and choroid, leading to new insights and improved understanding of the pathophysiological basis of intraocular inflammatory diseases. Evaluation of the retinal pigment epithelium status by fundus autofluorescence represents a typical example of modern fundus imaging techniques, which are now incorporated into the diagnostic arsenal of the specialist in uveitis.
