Characteristics
Description
The OCT/SLO system is an imaging system intended to be used for ophthalmic
applications. It combines a digital fundus imaging system that includes a Confocal
Scanning Ophthalmoscope
CSO
and Optical Coherence Tomography
OCT
. Both the
Confocal fundus SLO image and the OCT image are produced simultaneously from
the same SLD light source through the same optics and therefore they are pixel to
pixel correspondent.
The OCT/SLO software runs on Windows XP, and uses the features of the Windows
interface to direct the operation of the system and maintain patient records, permitting
a user-friendly environment for clinical applications.
System components
The OCT/SLO system consists of:
The Scanner unit or Optical Head, which contains the optical emitter/receiver. An
attached computer for system control, image capture, patient data storage, Image
recall and display and image analysis.
Application
To acquire SLO and OCT images, the operator first selects the “
SLO/OCT
” tab
which displays the acquisition screen, and follows the instructions for its various
controls (displayed on the upper left corner of the screen). The patient placed their
head on the chinrest and is instructed to fixate on the internal or external fixation
target. The scan parameters are preset, the examiner selects the scan mode of
his/her choice, select “LIVE” and the system starts scanning the eye.
