OPTICAL IMAGING & OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

The medical field relies on optical imaging for accurate diagnosis. A range of light sources such as lamps, LEDs and lasers are used with time resolved and interferometric techniques.

Recently, the advanced Optical Coherence Tomography technique has opened up a new range of systems. The Swept-Source OCT (SS-OCT) technique delivers improvements in speed and accuracy over traditional OCT techniques such as SD-OCT or TD-OCT.

Movu designed the SS-OCT Biometer ARGOS® to streamline biometry for the clinician. Enhanced ease-of-use and precision yield an accurate picture of the eye with minimal patient discomfort. A near infrared swept laser is scanned across the patient’s eye and detects the returned light from boundary layers, accurately reconstructing the eyes’ physiology in software. Fast image reconstruction algorithms mean that for the first time realtime 2D imaging of the eye is available during biometer alignment.

10 facts about Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):

  1. Uses eye-safe, non-ionizing near infrared light.
  2. Is a noncontact, real-time imaging technique.
  3. Provides higher resolution images than Ultrasound or X-ray techniques.
  4. Provides 2D cross-section or 3D volume imaging.
  5. Has been approved by FDA in wide range of Medical fields including Ophthalmology, GI tract, Dermatology, Cardiovascular.
  1. Was first developed in 1991 at MIT.
  2. Can provide functional information such as blood flow by Doppler technique.
  3. Is used for Glaucoma, Anterior chamber imaging, and retinal scanning in Ophthalmology.
  4. SS-OCT provides whole eye, high sensitivity imaging.
  5. Structures can be further analyzed using polarization and spectroscopic techniques.
