The fundus, or inner lining, of the eye includes the retina and the blood supply to it. It can be photographed with specially designed cameras through the dilated pupil of the patient.
The 3D OCT-2000 system is an optical signal acquisition and processing method. A spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system incorporates a high-resolution fundus camera and a user-friendly color touch-screen display.
A product of Topcon (Tokyo, Japan), the new 3D OCT-2000 system has a compact, space-saving design. It captures micrometer-resolution, three-dimensional (3D) images from within optical scattering media (e.g., biological tissue). Commercially available OCT systems are employed in diverse applications, such as in diagnostic medicine, notably in ophthalmology, where it is used to obtain detailed images from within the retina.
Intuitive FastMap software enables dynamic viewing of the OCT data and provides 3D, 2D, and fundus images simultaneously. Pinpoint registration indicates the location of the OCT image within the fundus image. In addition, the compare function allows users to view serial exams in a comparison view and apply different analytical tools.
The seamless integration of 3D OCT-2000 with Topcon's Eye Route Image Management System provides connectivity and access to images anywhere, at anytime. “At Topcon we strive to be the leading provider of clinical information, technology and connectivity. The multi-touch experience that we are pioneering, underlines our visionary approach in enhancing workflow and communication within the ophthalmic industry,” commented Katrin Teigeler, vice president, marketing at Topcon.
Topcon Medical Systems, Inc. (TMS) is a supplier of ophthalmic diagnostic equipment and image management solutions.
