Principles and clinical applications of fundus imaging devices
Tomidokoro ANeuro-Ophthalmology Japan 2010; 27: 243-253
One of the most important issues facing general ophthalmologists today is the ability to observe normal and pathological changes in the eye. In addition to direct observations, the development of modern imaging devices has made it possible to perform objective and/or quantitative evaluations of the ocular tissues. The target tissues of these fundus imaging devices include the vitreous, retina, and choroid. For example, when patients are evaluated for glaucoma today, tissues in the intrapapillary, peripapillary, and macular regions are closely examined. The current text summarizes the principles of modern fundus imaging devices, and reviews the clinical applications that have been developed for clinical use including, stereo fundus photography, scanning laser confocal ophthalmoscope (HRT), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx), and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
