Heidelberg HRT3
|
The HRT3 uses laser technology to produce a topographical image
of a patient's optic nerve, providing an objective analysis of the
structure's cup, rim and retinal nerve fiber layer. Optic
disc topography has been found to be predictive of visual field
loss according to a long term study published in the Journal of
Glaucoma. The HRT Retina Module is a powerful tool for
aiding in the diagnosis and management of retinopathies. The HRT has a unique confocal scanning laser technology which,
combines retinal thickness and the Edema Index for unparalleled
accuracy and reliability. Retinal thickness measurements enable the identification and
tracking of structural changes due to retinal pathologies including
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Macular Edema
(DME), Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) and other retinopathies.
TruTrack™ technology automatically evaluates and aligns
images using vessel patterns and other anatomical landmarks,
providing the precision necessary for accurate change analysis. With a 24-millisecond single scan, the HRT avoids most artifacts
associated with eye movement. TruTrack™ image processing
evaluates 192 images to give a TruPicture™, which is then
automatically aligned from examination to examination- a critical
advantage when managing patients over time. To find out more, visit

Long-Term Contact Lens Wear Crisp, clear corneal images are captured with the new confocal
laser microscope. The HRT II combines laser scanning technology and the Rostock
Cornea Module, developed with ophthalmologists from Rostock
University, Germany. The unique qualities of confocal scanning microscope allow the
laser to sharply image cellular structures and move through the
entire cornea layer-by-layer, from epithelium to endothelium. Images are acquired digitally, images may be captured in movie
form and are easy to transfer electronically. |
