New three-dimensional optical coherence tomography (3D-OCT) instruments under development by companies such as Topcon, Inc. are cutting-edge ophthalmic imaging solutions that merge technology, speed, quality, and clinical versatility. These devices are up to 100 times faster and 25% more accurate than conventional OCT.

Using higher speeds, 3D-OCT acquires more data in less time to ease the scanning process for both patients and technicians. 3D-OCT provides unparalleled views of retinal and subretinal structures with the best resolution available in any commercial device. Capturing, viewing, and analyzing images are easier with the software improvements. Integration with a fundus camera also allows a direct comparison of cross-sectional OCT data to conventional   fundus   images   and fluorescein angiography.

The Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles, CA, is participating in both clinical testing and device research with Topcon, Inc., a company that combines value and excellence in all of its imaging products.
