Pentacam HR by OCULUS
The rotating Scheimpflug camera technology is a powerful tool in corneal imaging, providing comprehensive data for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning. Here’s an overview of its key specifications, applications, and clinical benefits:
Key Specifications
- Camera Rotation: 360° around the optical axis for complete corneal imaging.
- Measurement Time: Captures a full 360° scan in just 2 seconds, enhancing patient comfort.
- Image Detail: Acquires up to 138,000 true elevation points for detailed corneal surface mapping.
- Measurement Accuracy:
- Keratometry: Accurate within ±0.5 diopters, ensuring reliable measurements of corneal curvature.
- Pachymetry: Accurate within ±5 micrometers (μm) for precise corneal thickness assessment.
Applications
- Corneal Topography and Tomography: Creates detailed corneal maps for curvature and thickness, essential for refractive surgery planning.
- Pachymetry Mapping: Measures both epithelial and total corneal thickness, enabling comprehensive thickness analysis.
- Anterior Chamber Analysis: Provides data on anterior chamber depth, volume, and angle, valuable for glaucoma and refractive assessments.
- Corneal Wavefront Analysis: Assesses optical aberrations for improved refractive corrections.
- Densitometry: Measures corneal clarity to assess and monitor conditions like corneal haze or scarring.
Clinical Significance
- Detection of Corneal Irregularities and Early Keratoconus: Identifies subtle changes in corneal structure that are critical for early intervention.
- Surgical Planning for Refractive Procedures: Offers vital data for planning LASIK, SMILE, and other refractive surgeries.
- Detailed Analysis of Corneal Biomechanics and Optical Properties: Provides insights into the structural integrity and visual performance of the cornea, improving patient outcomes.
This technology enhances clinical outcomes by supporting accurate diagnosis, individualized surgical planning, and long-term corneal health monitoring.
