AB  - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To characterize the appearance of three types of 
      artifacts observed on multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO). 
      PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of 159 eyes of 96 consecutive patients 
      from the Duke Eye Center who underwent multicolor cSLO with spectral-domain 
      optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Infrared (IR), green, blue, and multicolor 
      reflectance images were evaluated for artifacts with corresponding SD-OCT scans 
      available for reference. RESULTS: Multicolor cSLO artifacts were detected in 
      23.3% (37 of 159) of eyes and comprised three main patterns: spot, wisp, and net. 
      Only three instances of these artifacts were detected on IR reflectance versus 
      34, 37, and 35 instances on green, blue, and multicolor reflectance, 
      respectively. Artifacts were observed in 0% of eyes with clear lenses, 27.7% of 
      eyes with cataracts, and in 20.8% of eyes with posterior chamber intraocular 
      lenses. CONCLUSION: Awareness of spot, wisp, and net artifacts when interpreting 
      multicolor cSLO images may facilitate the identification of true retinal 
      pathology. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:810-815.].
