IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MACULAR MORPHOLOGIC BIOMARKERS RELATED TO VISUAL ACUITY IN RADIATION MACULOPATHY: A Multimodal Imaging Study

Conclusion: The vertical thickness of the thickest macular cyst, the presence of foveal retinal pigment epithelium atrophy, and IS/OS layer disruption can be used to clinically characterize radiation maculopathy. These parameters allow for separation of the edematous component of radiation maculopathy, which is potentially treatable in early disease stages, from late onset atrophic components, which are theoretically irreversible.
