This advanced imaging system and device have a wide range of potential applications in the field of medical imaging, including ophthalmic and dermatological diagnostics, and assessment of microcirculations and hemodynamics of vascular bed in other types of tissues. For example, in ophthalmology, this system visualizes and analyses various eye conditions such Diabetic Retinopath, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration with unprecedented precision and accuracy. Its functions also enable the aid in the early detection and useful for examination for pediatric patients.
This technology is an advancement in the realm of medical imaging, offering sophisticated solutions and devices utilizing advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal imaging systems. The development efforts of this state-of-the-art imaging technology and device include optical, mechanical, electric circuit and software design, and pioneers wide-field, quantitative, and high-resolution capabilities, supports multi-mode functionality, achieves unprecedented levels of capillary details and hemodynamic information throughout large tissue areas. The specific capabilities include: 1. high-resolution wide-field (15 mm x 15 mm) imaging of tissue (e.g. retinal) capillary in one shot (~10 sec) at low cost; 2. Quantitative evaluation of absolute blood flow velocity / flux down to the capillary level over large field of view in human noninvasively and without use of a contrast agent.
