Fibrovascular PED develops tears in 10% to 15% of the eyes in a variety of retinal disorders. They tend to grow over time, with significant consequences on vision. As they reach the large diameter of grade 3 and 4, they are difficult to treat.
We’re very excited by the opportunity to work with Phoenix. Clearly they have a strong portfolio of technologies optimized for animal eye research, so the addition of image analysis software can only strengthen their customers’ ability to effectively perform fundamental research.
We obtain 200° fields covering 82% of the entire retina with 14-µm resolution. This technology allows us to detect peripheral alterations of the retina that would otherwise go undetected.
As the holder of 35 patents and the author of five book chapters and 153 scholarly articles, Dr. Milner is a world-class intellect and a pioneer in the field of biomedical engineering and optical-based therapeutics.
The Inventor of the Year is chosen on the basis of the significance and novelty of a scientific discovery coupled with the commercial potential of the discovery.
Despite the advantages of fewer moving parts and simpler electronics, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography systems have not been widely employed at 1300nm, mainly due to lack of suitable spectrometers in this range.
Avanti not only offers the new Widefield 3D Enface OCT scanning to meet today’s clinical needs, this is also a platform for future OCT innovations that will extend the clinical utility of this technology beyond what even the inventors imagined a few short years ago.
This study suggests another path forward in understanding the disease process and could lead to new ways to diagnose or predict Alzheimer's that could be as simple as looking into the eyes.
It's the first study that shows that with a simple hour and a half test, we could evaluate the blockages that are at the highest risk of rupturing and worsening.
That is very important in 2013 where appropriate use criteria for PCI are completely dependent on the identification of ischemia at the time of the cath lab visit in patients who haven't had a prior stress test.
