Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is a noninvasive retinal imaging methodology that allows mapping of lipofuscin distribution in the retinal pigment epithelium cell (RPE). Excessive accumulation of lipofuscin granules in the lysosomal compartment of RPE cells represents a common downstream pathogenetic pathway in various hereditary and complex retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration. The clinical applications of FAF coupled with its ease of use, and the noninvasive nature of characterizing retinal diseases, are increasingly valuable to the field of ophthalmology and in assessing the progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Quantitative AF (qAF) enhances the understanding of retinal disease processes, serves as a diagnostic aid, and allows for the monitoring of the effects of therapeutic interventions. This chapter introduces basic principles of FAF and general protocols of FAF evaluating retinal disease progression in rodents.
