MultiColor
Scanning Laser Imaging
MultiColorTM – Scanning Laser Imaging brings a new dimension to non-invasive multi-modality fundus imaging with the SPECTRALIS® product family.
Simultaneous imaging with multiple laser colors selectively captures and portraits diagnostic information originating from different retinal structures within a single examination. SPECTRALIS MultiColor imaging delivers high contrast, detailed images even in difficult patients including those with cataracts or nystagmus. This is based on the core technologies of confocal scanning laser, active live eye tracking and noise reduction technology.
SPECTRALIS combines MultiColor and SD-OCT in a single device creating a new diagnostic platform for simultaneous fundus and cross sectional imaging.
Multiple small to mid-size drusen appear well delineated in the MultiColor image. The simultaneous SD-OCT image confirms the confluent drusen pattern.
The Detail of SPECTRALIS MultiColor Scanning Laser Imaging
Healthy eye: High contrast and quality of the MultiColor image allow identification of fine anatomic details.
The Precision of Multi-modality Imaging with SPECTRALIS
Diabetic Macula Edema: The fundus camera and SPECTRALIS MultiColor images show multiple areas of fibrotic tissue due to laser photocoagulation. The MultiColor image reveals an area of abnormal RPE in the macula which may be difficult to identify on the fundus camera image. The simultaneous SD-OCT image shows diffusive thickening of the retina and cystoid macula edema.
The Versatility of MultiColor Imaging
The area of geographic atrophy is clearly demarcated in the MultiColor image. In addition, the peripheral reticular drusen are more easily identified.
The versatility to view images of the individual laser colors in addition to the MultiColor image can provide a deeper understanding of anatomic and pathologic detail.
