Clinical application of multicolor imaging in central serous chorioretinopathy

Purpose: To characterize features of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) using multicolor (MC) imaging and to compare the efficacy of using MC imaging and traditional color fundus photography (CFP) for detecting features of CSC. Methods: A retrospective review of 75 eyes of 69 participants with CSC from the Eye Center of the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University. The patients underwent same-day CFP, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and MC imaging (including infrared reflectance (IR), green reflectance (GR), blue reflectance (BR), combined standard MC image, and green-blue–enhanced image). Positive CSC lesions were evaluated using FFA and SD-OCT. Features in images of CFP, standard MC, green-blue–enhanced, IR, GR, and BR were analyzed and calculated. Results: Among the 75 eyes of 69 patients, 75 eyes with subretinal fluid (SRF) and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) leakage point, and 43 eyes with RPE damage were observed by FFA and SD-OCT. The detection rate of SRF was significantly higher with the standard MC image (92.0%), green-blue–enhanced image (92.0%), IR (88.0%), and GR (88.0%) than that with CFP (66.7%) (P
