The use of MC is suitable for visualization of RPE atrophy and the fibrous portion of fibrotic CNV and FAF is suitable for differentiation of RPE atrophy. The SD-OCT can be used to quantify the fibrous portion of CNV; the EZ interruption is delimitable in the b‑scan but not in the transverse structure-scan. The vascular part can best be detected by OCTA.
