hyperautofluoresenssi
Hyperautofluoresenssi refers to an increased or exaggerated autofluorescence observed in biological tissues, particularly in the eye. Autofluorescence is a natural phenomenon where certain molecules within cells emit light when exposed to excitation light. In ophthalmology, this is commonly observed in the retina, especially in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
Conditions that lead to hyperautofluoresenssi can indicate the accumulation of metabolic byproducts or structural changes within
Specific retinal diseases commonly associated with hyperautofluoresenssi include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), particularly the dry form,
Diagnostic imaging techniques, such as fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging, are used to detect and quantify hyperautofluoresenssi.
