What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)?

Understanding OCT Technology

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that uses low-coherence interferometry to generate high-resolution cross-sectional images of ocular tissues.

Unlike conventional fundus photography, OCT provides depth-resolved visualization of retinal layers, allowing clinicians to detect subtle structural abnormalities that may not be visible during routine examination.

The ZEISS CIRRUS 5000 utilizes Spectral Domain OCT technology to achieve rapid image acquisition with exceptional axial resolution, enabling early detection of retinal and optic nerve pathology.

Benefits of Spectral Domain OCT

Spectral Domain OCT offers several advantages over earlier time-domain systems.

These include:

• Faster scan speeds
• Higher image resolution
• Improved reproducibility
• Reduced motion artifacts
• Better visualization of retinal microstructures
• Enhanced progression analysis
• Improved patient comfort
• Increased diagnostic confidence
