Swept-source microscope-integrated OCT shows promise as training tool

LAS VEGAS — A new intraoperative corneal imaging device, swept-source microscope-integrated OCT, demonstrates new dimensions for real-time intraoperative imaging of the corneal and anterior segment and provides live three-dimensional anatomical information for surgical guidance, according to a speaker here. “Combining the two [ophthalmic surgical microscope and OCT imaging] gives you microscope integration of OCT technology that allows for intraoperative imaging for surgical guidance,” Terry Kim, MD, said at the Refractive Surgery Subspecialty Day preceding the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting.
