Abstract

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is a noninvasive and rapid technique to visualize fluorophores in the fundus. The physical principle is based on the excitation of certain molecules by a specific wavelength of light and emission through a longer wavelength.

Keywords: Autofluorescence; Fundus; Imaging.
