Near- infrared reflectance may be a viable proposition only when a greater degree of approximation is acceptable.

Choroidal abnormalities detected by infrared reflectance imaging with optical coherence tomography can be used to diagnose neurofibromatosis type 1.

Purpose: To investigate the frequency of choroidal abnormalities in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 detected by infrared reflectance imaging.

Mean results of the near- infrared reflectance analysis resembled those of the Van de Kamer method, but with wide discordance of individual data.
