"The hand-held platform allows the diagnosis or screening to be performed in a much wider range of settings," Fujimoto said. "Developing screening methods that are accessible to the larger population could significantly reduce unnecessary vision loss."
This is a flythrough of 3D OCT volumetric data showing sequential cross sections of the normal retina. 3D OCT provides comprehensive information about retinal structure, enabling early detection of disease. (Wide field 10 x 10 mm2, 350 x 350 A-scan motion corrected OCT volume generated from two scanned volumes acquired in 1.4 seconds each.)

This is an en-face flythrough of 3D OCT volumetric data. This alternate display of the same 3D data set shows progressively deeper images sectioning through the retina. (Wide field 10 x 10 mm2, 350 x 350 A-scan motion corrected volume generated from two scanned volumes acquired in 1.4 seconds each.)

This shows photographs of the power grip style (A-B) and camcorder style designs (C-D) of the prototype OCT scanner. Both devices acquire 3D OCT images of the retina.
