Enhanced Imaging and Precision: Nidek RS-3000 Advance 2 OCT Delivers Cutting-Edge Ophthalmic Solutions
The Nidek RS-3000 Advance 2 OCT is equipped with the Tracing HD Plus function, a cutting-edge feature that traces involuntary eye movements to ensure precise scan location on the SLO image for accurate image capture. By maintaining consistent positioning, this function enables the accurate averaging of up to 120 images, resulting in high-resolution, high-contrast images of chorioretinal pathology. This level of detail is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in ophthalmology.
Another notable feature of the RS-3000 Advance 2 OCT is the Enhanced Image function, which enhances the resolution of vitreous retina images by adjusting the brightness of weak OCT signals. This allows for greater clarity and detail in imaging, enabling clinicians to detect subtle changes in retinal structures with enhanced sensitivity.
The device offers various scan patterns, including Macula Multi and Macula Radial, which enable multiple raster scans simultaneously, reducing the need for rescans. The Tracing HD function ensures precise centering of scans on the fovea or region of interest, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
Additionally, the RS-3000 Advance 2 OCT provides Macula Comparison capabilities, allowing users to select and compare two images for the analysis of chronological changes in retinal thickness. This feature includes a graphical representation of retinal thickness trends, providing valuable insights for monitoring disease progression and treatment efficacy.
The device also offers En face OCT imaging, presenting frontal sections of retinal layers for comprehensive evaluation. Combined assessment of B-scan and En face images allows clinicians to accurately define the shape and extension of lesions, aiding in treatment planning and monitoring.
Furthermore, the AngioScan feature utilizes OCT-Angiography to illustrate retinal microvasculature with exceptional detail, enabling in-depth evaluation of vascular abnormalities and perfusion status.
Lastly, the Select and Rescan Mode (SR Mode) facilitates efficient image acquisition by allowing users to capture an entire image of the retina with the macula map scan pattern and select a cross-sectional OCT image with the location of a lesion from up to 256 images. This mode is particularly useful for obtaining high-quality images of regions of interest with precision and ease, enhancing diagnostic confidence and workflow efficiency in clinical practice.
In addition to its advanced imaging capabilities, the Nidek RS-3000 Advance 2 OCT offers features for comprehensive quantitative analysis and disease monitoring. The Vessel Density Map and Perfusion Density Map provide valuable metrics for assessing disease progression and treatment effects by quantifying vessels in each retinal layer. These maps, displayed in all slabs, enable clinicians to evaluate vascular changes with precision and accuracy.
The device also incorporates autodetection of the Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) and Shape Analysis, providing rapid assessment of retinal morphology and vascular patterns. This automated feature streamlines workflow and enhances efficiency in clinical practice.
For longitudinal assessment, the RS-3000 Advance 2 OCT offers a Follow-up Function that presents changes over time in vessel density or perfusion density in easily understandable maps. Presented in chronological order, these maps facilitate the evaluation of vascular changes with disease progression, aiding in treatment planning and monitoring.
Furthermore, the device offers flexible functions to accommodate varying clinical needs. The Tracing HD Plus function tracks eye movements to ensure accurate image capture by maintaining the same scan location on the SLO image. Users can select between two, four, or eight scans per line (2 HD, 4 HD, or 8 HD) based on their specific requirements. The 8 HD option provides high-quality images combined with the tracing HD function, enhancing diagnostic precision.
Moreover, the Fine Mode OCT angiography delivers high-resolution images, further enhancing diagnostic capabilities. With its flexible and advanced features, the Nidek RS-3000 Advance 2 OCT offers comprehensive imaging and analysis solutions for ophthalmic practices, enabling precise diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment evaluation in patients with retinal diseases.
