Mirante SLO (SLO)

LSO imaging of the fundus

We use the auto fluorescence to analyse the pigmentary epythelium. There are two versions of auto fluorescence: the green wavelength one to correctly view the macula and the blue wavelength one, more convenient to observe the papilla. Therefore, adapting the reading to the studied pathology is possible.
Dynamic or static injection angiography acquisitions, using fluorescein and/or the ICG, are used to observe the vascularisation of the retina and the choroid, from the early filling phases to the late times. Thanks to the real-time infrared imaging, the alignment is performed at the beginning of the injection, thus reducing the loss of information. The automatic setting of the gain, independent for the fluorescein and the ICG, limits the saturation of the signal that sometimes hind the fundus. You can then confirm your diagnosis using the detection of vascular lesions, such as aneurysms, ischemia and leaks.

The retro mode is a technology specially attached to the Mirante. It is an infrared imaging of the deep layers of retina to highlight the structures of the pigmentary epythelium and of the choroid. It uses, derivatively, the LSO technology, and reinforces the detection of fine lesions on these difficult-to-access layers, particularly the lesions of drusen, the conventional imaging methods cannot sometimes see.

The ultra large field adapter is used to enlarge the analysis zone up to 163°, to access to the periphery. By tilting and rotating the upper part of the product, you can observe the fundus, up to the extreme periphery. The reconstruction of different pictures provides a view of the entire fundus, up to the ora serrata.
