RTVue 100 The Next Generation OCT
Principles of OCT Technology • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) uses a principle called low coherence interferometry to derive depth information of various retinal structures • This is performed by comparing the time difference in reflected light from the retina at various depths with a reference ‘standard’ • Differences between the reflected light and the reference standard provide structural information in the form of an ‘A’ scan
Principles of OCT Technology • An A-scan is the intensity of reflected light at various retinal depths at a single retinal location • Combining many A-scans produces a B-scan Retinal Depth + + = . . . Reflectance Intensity A-scan A-scan B-scan A-scans
Fourier Domain OCT – RTVue 100 • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides cross sectional imaging of the retina • Spectrometry and Fourier Domain methods allow high speed data capture (26,000 A scans per second) • Broad-band light source provides high depth resolution (5 microns)
The Evolution of OCT Technology OptoVue RTVue 2006 Fourier domain OCT • 65 x faster • 2 x resolution 26,000 Speed (A-scans per sec) Time domain OCT Zeiss OCT 1 and 2, 1996 400 Zeiss Stratus 2002 100 16 5 10 Resolution (mm)

Time Domain OCT • Sequential • 1 pixel at a time • 1024 pixels per A-scan • 400 A scans per second • 512 A-scans in 1.28 sec • Slower than eye movements • Fourier Domain OCT • Simultaneous • Entire A-scan at once • 2048 pixels per A scan • 26,000 A scans per second • 1024 A-scans in 0.04 sec • Faster than eye movements Small blood vessels Motion artifact IS/OS Choroidal vessels 512 A-scans in 1.28 sec 1024 A-scans in 0.04 sec Higher speed, higher definition and higher signal.

Fourier Domain OCT • High speed reduces eye motion artifacts present in time domain OCT • High resolution provides precise detail, allows more structures to be seen • Larger scanning areas allow data rich maps & accurate registration for change analysis • 3-D scanning improves clinical utility
