Advancing Pediatric Retinal Imaging With Auto-aligned OCT
Duke University
Summary
The goal of the current study is to conduct a pilot study to test a new version of the handheld OCT device capable of auto-alignment to image the retina in adult volunteers, and adult and pediatric patients in clinic.
Description
Handheld OCT imaging is an advancement in ophthalmic imaging technology allowing us to image the pediatric retina. lt has tremendous potential to be applied to assess the structure and blood flow of children with retinal vascular diseases or as a screening tool for pediatric retinal diseases. Despite progress in the development of hand-held OCT probes, there remains a critical gap in technology to achieve fast, proper alignment between the imaging device and the infant eye. Even with the most skilled operators, to acquire consistent OCT and OCTA data capture for longitudinal follow up in uncoo…
