Asia Pac J Ophthalmol (Phila). 2018 May-Jun;7(3):208-214. doi: 10.22608/APO.2018100. Epub 2018 Jun 11.

Abstract

This article explores the development of retinal imaging, with particular emphasis on ultra-widefield imaging and the key concept of field of view. Two ultra-widefield imaging platforms are examined in detail-Optomap and Spectralis-noncontact imaging systems that include protocols for performing angiography in infants. Applications of ultra-widefield imaging are illustrated using case studies, including diagnosis, monitoring, and screening.

Keywords: retinal imaging; retinal oximetry; retinopathy of prematurity; wide-field imaging.
