Scanning beyond the limits of standard OCT with a Fourier domain optical coherence tomography integrated into a slit lamp: the SL SCAN-1

摘要

PurposeWith a new Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD OCT) device, SL SCAN-1 (Topcon Europe Medical BV, Capelle a/d IJssel, The Netherlands), integrated into a slit-lamp OCT, scans can be obtained through a handheld lens. The necessary adjustment of the reference arm is possible by fast Z-alignment. This study was performed to prove the capability of SL SCAN-1 to scan through a three-mirror contact lens, scanning the peripheral retina and anterior chamber angle.
