Optos introduces imaging system with ICG angiography
The Optos California, an ultra-widefield retinal imaging system designed for the tabletop, is equipped with the company’s new retinal imaging modality, indocyanine green angiography.
The system was designed "to identify pathology in the retinal periphery efficiently and correlate it with disease progression and management," the company said in an announcement it released.
As detailed by Optos, California is a compact and tabletop instrument that includes imaging modalities such as autofluorescence, color and fluorescein angiography as well as indocyanine green (ICG) angiography. Optos stated that optomap icg is used in imaging choroidal vasculature.
Other improvements include "OptosAdvance software that facilitates multimodality review and annotation, cloud-based archiving, platform independent review and referral management and ProView, which enhances image registration for tracking retinal disease development over time and comparison of images across all retinal image modalities," Optos stated.
"As one of the first customers utilizing the California, the latest ultra-widefield retinal imaging device from Optos, I am quite impressed with the quality and enhanced visualization, specifically with respect to the 200 degrees of peripheral retina captured in one image," Mark Nelson, MD, MBA, commented in the release. "My area of expertise concentrates on the early phases of ICG imaging, which provides valuable information on the origins of choroidal neovascularization in exudative age-related macular degeneration and provides an enhanced target for photodynamic therapy treatment."
