Standardization of Imaging Criteria for Detecting Macular Fibrosis in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate conventional imaging modalities for detecting fibrosis in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and to develop a standardized diagnostic workflow.

Design

Systematic discussion and grading exercise assessing multiple imaging modalities.

Participants

Retina specialists from the International Fibrosis Consensus workgroup and members of the International Retinal Imaging Society.

Methods

An international panel assessed the advantages and limitations of 5 imaging modalities-color fundus photography (CFP), fluorescein angiography (FA), spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT), near-infrared reflectance, and fundus autofluorescence-for detecting fibrosis in nAMD. A structured debate was followed by 2 online, masked image grading surveys. Sensitivi
