Super Resolution Spectral Fundus Imager

描述：反射图像由全光谱的颜色组成 信息.人眼看起来很细微的差异可以被证明是 在查看详细的光谱时，这是非常重要的。此外，波长 (such如紫外线和红外线），这些肉眼看不见的信息可以被分析 通过高光谱成像。 研究人员建议开发一种高光谱成像仪和自适应光学系统 其将能够检测和区分细微的眼底异常， 是很难或不可能通过更传统的手段。他们举了一个例子， 在一些试点数据中区分硬玻璃疣和软玻璃疣的能力。 这可能是临床上有用的，因为AMD的最早迹象是 特征在于小的边界不清楚的软玻璃疣。硬玻璃疣不是 被认为是一个重大的风险因素。 拟议商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION: Reflective images are made up of a full spectrum of color information. Differences that appear subtle to the human eye can be shown to be significant when looking at the detailed spectrum. In addition, wavelengths (such as U.V. and I.R.), which are invisible to the human eye, can be analyzed by hyperspectral imaging. The investigators propose to develop a hyperspectral imager and adaptive optics that will be able to detect and differentiate subtle fundus abnormalities that are difficult or impossible by more traditional means. They use as an example, the ability to distinguish between hard and soft drusen in some pilot data. This might be clinically useful since the earliest signs of AMD are characterized by small poorly defined soft drusen. Hard drusen is not considered to be a significant risk factor.
