Optovue Launches Next Generation Widefield Enface OCT
Fremont, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2013 -- Optovue (http://www.optovue.com), a pioneer in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), today announced the worldwide launch and availability of Avanti Widefield Enface OCT. Avanti will make its US debut at the annual American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) meeting, November 16-19 in New Orleans.
Avanti is a next generation diagnostic device providing an all-in-one solution for posterior and anterior high-speed, high-resolution OCT imaging offering 70,000 A-scans per second, Widefield 3D motion correction and 3 micron digital resolution (sampling). With the next wave of OCT technology innovation in mind, Avanti is designed as a scalable platform to take eye care professionals to the next level in clinical OCT.
“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,” stated Jay Wei, Founder and CEO of Optovue.
In addition to its high-speed and high-resolution, Avanti offers a broad range of functionality across multiple clinical applications including:
• 40 ̊ Widefield Enface OCT with SMART™ Motion Correction offering a larger field of view than the standard OCT device
• Simultaneous Multi-Layered Assessment of Peripheral Retina Pathology
• Retina Tracking at 30 frames/second, providing detail and clarity to assess the retina, as well as the ability to monitor patients and track disease progression
• Fovea Location Recognition
• Deep Choroidal Imaging
• Optic Disc, RNFL & Ganglion Cell Complex Assessment
• TCP®: Total Cornea Power
• Pachymetry Mapping
• Epithelial Thickness Mapping (available for international sale only)
Avanti is currently available for worldwide sale and will be displayed and demonstrated at the Optovue booth #3221 at the AAO meeting November 16-19, 2013.
