Type 0 = Not visible (n=3), Type 1 = Hyperreflective but confined within normal choroidal thickness (n = 35), Type 2 = Discrete (anteriorly bowed hyperreflectivity cascading at lesion edges) (n = 15), Type 3 = Posteriorly bowed (n = 14), Type 4 = Elevated (n = 27); LBD = mean largest basal diameter in millimeters, OP = orange pigment, SRF = subretinal fluid, IR = infrared (imaging), AF = autofluorescence (imaging)
