[Abstract] Abstract Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) is a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) analysis technique, which is used to measure spontaneous fluctuations of blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD- fMRI) signal intensity in neural activity, and the signal reflects the intensity of local spontaneous brain activity at rest. The rs-fMRI technique based on the ALFF has been used more and more widely in the study of many ocular diseases, it opens up a new understanding for the study of the relationship between the characteristics of ophthalmic diseases and the changes of local brain functional areas. Now, the application of the rs-fMRI technique based on ALFF in ophthalmic diseases is summarized as follows. |
