With the swept source technology of the OCT-S1, wide field OCTA images as large as 23 x 20 mm can be obtained with a single acquisition. Visualization of non–perfusion areas over a very large surface becomes possible.
In addition, the SLO-based real-time tracking of the OCT-S1 minimizes movement artefacts due to involuntary eye movement. Projection artefacts from the overlying retinal circulation can interfere strongly with the correct diagnosis. A Projection Artifact Removal algorithm is therefore crucial. The Canon algorithm is based on using the full 3 D signal data, for a natural projection artefacts removal, without removing any clinical information.
With the optional auto montage function, using just 4 or 5 images, a mosaic image with a scan width up to ≈ 31 mm and a scan height up to ≈ 27 mm can be created. For the diagonal direction this combined image would be approx. be 36 mm or represent an impressive 120° viewing angle.
The Xephilio OCT-S1 offers an enormous diversity of scan areas and scan densities for OCT Angiography examinations.
Scan areas range from small (3 x 3 ~ 8 x 8 mm) to super large (23 x 20 mm) to suit your requirements. The scan density ranges up to very large: 928 x 807 pixels, which allows for visualization of even smallest vessels. The system provides various square and rectangular formats from 3 x 3 mm to super large 23 x 20 mm.
Canon Flow Fusion is 3D averaging several OCTA examinations. Flow Fusion can help to reduce the effect of poor patient co-operation. Simply split up the examination in multiple quick scans and re-combine them afterwards into a useful clinical image. Flow fusion can also overcome signal dropouts caused by vitreous artefacts. Or use Flow Fusion to simply create amazing quality OCTA images.
