As the first Fourier/spectral-doman OCT system in the US, the
RTVue FD-OCT set the standard for high-speed, high-resolution
tomography scanning. Allowing discrete layers of the retina, as
well as the full choroid, to be visualized clinically for the first time,
the 5 micron resolution images have ushered in a new era of retina
pathology documentation and diagnostic imaging. Comparative
studies have demonstrated that the system offers earlier detection
of minute changes in pathology than time-domain based systems,
allowing for earlier intervention and better outcomes for patients.
The RTVue system uses an IR “live view” alignment camera to allow for natural dilation of the patients pupil.
