Quotes about Heidelberg Engineering

1. “ I am becoming a big fan of spectral-domain OCT, especially Spectralis [Heidelberg Engineering, Vista, Calif.]...To this point with time-domain OCT, I have not been convinced that you can use this technology to follow patients over time. Now, with the faster image acquisition and better axial resolution we see with SD OCT, there is better quantitative peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer measurement for glaucoma management. The improved accuracy of the OCT segmentation allows for better long-term evaluation of patients. ”

   Purpose: To explore the relationship between visual field sensitivity and photoreceptor layer thickness in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Methods: Static automated perimetry with Humphrey Field Analyzer (central 30-2 threshold program with spot size III) and frequency domain optical coherence tomography (fd-OCT) scans with Spectralis HRA+OCT were obtained from 10 age-matched normal controls and 20 patients with RP retaining good central vision (better than 20/32). The OS+ thickness [the distance ... (Read Full Article)

3. Visualization and follow-up of acute macular neuroretinopathy with the Spectralis® HRA + OCT device

   Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Mar 3 2010) Ophthalmology

   Abstract Background Acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMNR) is a rare disease entity, the diagnosis of which is frequently complicated by the subtlety of biomicroscopic findings. Methods Two cases of AMNR are presented, in which the diagnosis and follow-up was enabled using the Spectralis® HRA+OCT in the absence of clear biomicroscopic findings. Results The typical lesions were visualized by hyporeflexion during infrared imaging and faded over time. With spectral domain optical coherence ... (Read Full Article)

   Over the past decade there has been a rapid evolution in our ability to noninvasively image the living human retina. Of particular interest is adaptive optics (AO), a technique that corrects for the eye's monochromatic aberrations and allows nearly diffraction-limited imaging of the retina.1 There is increasing clinical application of AO imaging2-5 owing to the ability to resolve retinal pathological changes on a cellular level, although the future of AO ...

   Explore Article Expert Reviews (Feb 1 2010) Ophthalmology

   This article summarizes the physics, technology and clinical application of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for assessment of the anterior segment in glaucoma. UBM systems use frequencies ranging from approximately 35 to 80 MHz, as compared with typical 10-MHz systems used for general-purpose ophthalmic imaging. OCT systems use low-coherence, near-infrared light to provide detailed images of anterior segment structures at resolutions exceeding that of UBM. Both technologies ... (Read Full Article)

    Purpose: Spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) is an advancement over time-domain OCT (TD-OCT) in the imaging of retinal disorders. The retinal thickness, as measured by SD-OCT (Spectralis) differs from that by TD-OCT (Stratus) as the delineation of outer boundary of the retina differs in the two instruments. The present study aims to evaluate this difference by comparing the macular thickness, as obtained by Stratus and Spectralis OCT in subjects without any known ... (Read Full Article)
