Heidelberg Engineering’s presence at ESCRS and EURETINA focuses on the advantages of smart multimodal imaging. In addition to lunch symposia, Heidelberg Engineering will offer short, interactive in-booth presentations about both novel and established diagnostic tools designed to support clinical decision-making. Among the innovation highlights this year are the latest SPECTRALIS® modules, the new Cataract and Refractive Imaging Platform* and the next generation HEYEX* for ophthalmic image management and device integration. ESCRS/EURETINA is also the occasion chosen for the international launch of the Heidelberg Engineering Business Lounge, an exclusive portal for ophthalmology professionals.
“Clinical practice keeps proving the importance of multimodal imaging in comprehensive diagnostics. In this context we would like to take the discussion further to the concept of smart multimodality imaging: Which imaging modalities make the most sense for specific patients and pathologies? How can they be integrated into a solid and convenient IT infrastructure? We are looking forward to discussing these topics with customers”, said Dr. Kester Nahen, Managing Director of Heidelberg Engineering.Retina The Flex Module* for the SPECTRALIS imaging platform will be shown in Copenhagen for the very first time. With its movable stand and an adjustable, flexible arm, the Flex Module enables all SPECTRALIS examinations to be performed on patients lying down in the supine position. While the Flex Module offers a solution for a very specific clinical set-up, the new OCT2 Module can benefit every SPECTRALIS user. With its high scan rate of 85,000 Hz, this module cuts acquisition time by half and delivers excellent image quality. Additionally, the OCT2 Module provides an ideal platform for future advanced applications such as the OCT Angiography Module*. For easier detection of peripheral pathologies, the Widefield Imaging Module with its simultaneous 55° fundus and OCT imaging is a very useful tool for retina specialists and general ophthalmologists. The high-resolution, high-contrast scanning laser images captured with this SPECTRALIS module offer diagnostic capabilities beyond those of conventional fundus photography. Glaucoma The Glaucoma Module Premium Edition provides a comprehensive analysis of the optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer, and ganglion cell layer by precisely matching unique scan patterns to the fine anatomic structures relevant in glaucoma diagnostics. This glaucoma module compares patients’ eyes to a reference database of normal eyes, noting even very small deviations. The precision of the SPECTRALIS AutoRescan function allows confident identification and monitoring of structural changes from visit to visit. The speed achieved with the SPECTRALIS OCT2 Module is a great enhancement to the Glaucoma Module Premium Edition. Images are acquired twice as fast as in the past and their quality is also better than with the previous OCT engine due to a high scan rate of 85,000 Hz combined with the TruTrack Active Eye Tracking developed exclusively by Heidelberg Engineering. Cataract and refractive The Cataract and Refractive Imaging Platform* utilizes high-resolution, swept-source OCT images to combine the most important examinations for anterior segment diagnostics in one modular, upgradeable system: Topography, tomography, anterior segment biometry and axial length in one workflow-efficient device. Its key benefits are:
- All measurements based on high-resolution swept-source OCT images,
- Modular and upgradeable platform to suit different workflow needs,
- Supported by the next generation HEYEX* for effective image management and IT integration.
