Handheld optical device to catch early signs of retinal disease

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A handheld optical device that combines ultrahigh-speed 3-D imaging with a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) scanning mirror could make early detection of certain eye diseases as easy as scanning a bar code. Photographs of the power grip style (A-B) and camcorder style designs (C-D) of the prototype OCT scanner developed at MIT. Both devices acquire 3-D OCT images of the retina.

The ophthalmic-screening instrument uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) to scan a patient's retina in seconds and could aid primary-care physicians in...Read full article
