The HRT 3 - Observing the Eye in Three Modules
This device is an advanced imaging system used to examine the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Comprising three distinct modules that can operate independently or combined, the HRT 3 is an essential versatile tool for eye health professionals.
The major clinical application of the HRT 3 lies in the analysis of the structure of the optic nerve head, making it a valuable tool in the diagnosis of glaucoma. Utilizing artificial intelligence and ethnicity-specific databases, the new Glaucoma Probability Score (GPS) provides an objective and independent structural assessment of the optic nerve head. This enables the detection of statistically significant changes over time to assess glaucoma progression.
In the field of diabetology, the HRT 3 also finds utility in locating and quantifying retinal edema. This allows physicians to quickly and non-invasively evaluate conditions such as diabetic macular edema, central serous retinopathy, and other retinal conditions.
Moreover, with the Rostock Cornea Module, the HRT 3 can be transformed into a confocal microscope for real-time evaluation of the cornea, limbus, and conjunctiva. This capability allows for detailed analysis of corneal structures, which is particularly useful for interventions such as LASIK surgery, keratoplasty, and assessment of corneal health in contact lens wearers.
The acquired images, in 2D and 3D, benefit from high resolution and reproducible quality due to integrated quality controls. Whether for optic nerve head structure analysis or corneal evaluation, the HRT 3 is a trusted tool providing essential diagnostic information.
