Clinical comparison: SPECTRALIS Ultra-Widefield Angiography Module and Optomap®
The SPECTRALIS® Non-Contact Ultra Widefield Angiography Module was recently introduced to extend the range of clinical applications of the SPECTRALIS and HRA2® multi-modality imaging platforms to meet the increasing need of peripheral imaging to manage patients with retinal vascular, degenerative and inflammatory disease.
In a recent article the group of Szilárd Kiss (Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, USA) compared ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography with this new module to the Optos® Optomap®. Although the findings described in this study are limited to the examination of 10 eyes, the results confirm the excellent performance of the SPECTRALIS non-contact angiography module.
