OCT with tunable radiation source for infants

The optical coherence tomograph with a tunable light source (Swept-source OCT) is designed for high-precision imaging of the structures of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye in newborns, premature infants and young patients. The system enables optical coherence tomography to be performed for the diagnosis of retinopathy of prematurity, as well as congenital and acquired pathologies of the retina, the macular region and the optic nerve, and for the dynamic monitoring of treatment efficacy. The tomograph must provide simultaneous colour imaging of the fundus and OCT scanning. The scanning speed must be at least 100,000 A-scans per second, with the capability to operate at up to 200,000 A-scans per second. The scanning depth must be at least 3 mm, and the scanning range at least 10 mm. The device must support linear, cross-sectional and multi-line scanning modes and ensure the acquisition of high-quality images of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. The equipment must enable the detection and monitoring of retinopathy of prematurity, the assessment of the macular region, the diagnosis of intralaminar retinal haemangioma, epiretinal membranes associated with macular oedema, macular foveal dysplasia, peripheral retinal dysplasia and other retinal conditions in children. The high scanning speed enables high-quality images to be obtained even when examining newborns and premature infants without
