Imaging Characteristics of Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2011
To review the current literature regarding the imaging characteristics of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) lesions, with a special focus on drusen and geographic atrophy imaging. We also explore the role of novel approach of hyperspectral imaging in AMD.Review of current literature as well as findings in a small group of patients imaged with ...
