Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a vital tool in ophthalmic and optometric practice, providing detailed insights into retinal structure for early detection and management of eye conditions. With numerous OCT devices available, selecting the right one for your hospital or clinic is essential for ensuring high-quality patient care and operational efficiency.
Some points to keep in mind:
Scan Speed: A higher scan speed allows for faster acquisition of detailed retinal images, reducing the time patients spend undergoing the examination. Rapid scan speeds minimise motion artifacts, resulting in clearer and more accurate images that are crucial for precise diagnosis and monitoring of ocular conditions. Huvitz offers a scan speed of 68000/sec. Due to high scan speed, the image depth is better.
Movable OCT enface: This feature is particularly valuable for examining uncooperative patients. This feature allows clinicians to obtain detailed cross-sectional images of the retina even when patients have difficulty maintaining a steady gaze or remaining still during the examination.
Web viewer: Web viewer software that enables remote access to OCT data is a game-changer for modern ophthalmic practices. This technology allows clinicians to review detailed OCT images and patient data from any PC, even if the OCT is in another room. This enhances the flexibility and efficiency of clinical workflows. It ensures that patient data is always accessible, enabling timely and informed clinical decisions. It also helps that the ophthalmologist does not have to repeatedly take the patient to the machine for patient counselling. Moreover, in HOCT 1/1F this software stores all your data on an easily accessible cloud with unlimited storage. You no longer have to worry about lost data or handling multiple storage devices.
Wide anterior mode: This mode enables clinicians to capture extensive, detailed views of the cornea, iris, and anterior chamber, which are essential for diagnosing and managing a variety of anterior segment conditions. Huvitz OCT offers a 16mm wide view of the chamber as compared to a 9mm view in competitor OCTs. This also enables the practitioner to see the posterior capsule along with AOD, TISA, and ACD.
HD images: HD images enhance the visualization of fine retinal structures, allowing clinicians to detect subtle abnormalities and early signs of ocular diseases with greater precision. This level of detail is crucial for accurate diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and tailoring treatment plans. HOCT 1/1F provides 24 raster lines which ensures all the images are of the best quality and also reduces noise.
Standardised print outs: To ensure consistency and clarity in patient records and clinical documentation. Standardized formats ensure that key information is clearly presented, aiding in the accurate tracking of disease progression and treatment efficacy. Additionally, they improve patient consultations by offering clear visual aids that help patients understand their conditions.
Upgradable to Topography, Biometry and Angiography: From a long term perspective, this multifunctionality enhances diagnostic precision and broadens the range of conditions that can be effectively managed within a single device. Huvitz OCT can adapt to the evolving needs of your practice and can upgraded as and when required.
