Portable Line Scanning Ophthalmoscope

描述（由申请人提供）：Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI)建议 开发并商业化一种新型检眼镜， 共焦扫描激光检眼镜（SLO）的原理。虽然 共焦SLO具有许多有价值的诊断能力， 这些装置体积大、价格昂贵并且对于手持应用来说是不切实际的。在 第一阶段计划，PSI设计并演示了共焦线扫描 激光成像设备，或LSLO，使用更简单、紧凑的光学设计， 标准的低成本组件，以及比当前SLO更少的活动部件 仪器.基于这项工作，紧凑型原型的要求 尺寸和重量与商用手持设备相似 数码摄像机在第二阶段，我们将开发和临床测试一种 用于多种临床应用的紧凑型工程原型装置， 商业发展。该设备将适用于眼底检查 在各种各样的条件下，包括筛选和现场和紧急情况下， 医疗用途。第二阶段的原型将包括额外的能力 包括双波长和立体成像，并且将用于 眼睛前部的检查。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop and commercialize a new type of ophthalmoscope based upon the principles of the confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO). Though the confocal SLO has many valuable diagnostic capabilities, commercially available devices are large, expensive and are impractical for hand-held applications. In the Phase I program, PSI designed and demonstrated a confocal line scanning laser imaging device, or LSLO, using a simpler, compact optical design, standard low-cost components, and fewer moving parts that current SLO instruments. Based on this work, the requirements for a compact prototype have been specific that is similar in size and weight to commercial hand-held digital video cameras. In phase II, we will develop and clinically test a compact engineering prototype device for several clinical applications and commercial development. This device will be suitable for fundus examination under a wide variety of conditions, including screening and field and emergency medical uses. The Phase II prototype will incorporate additional capabilities including dual wavelength and stereoscopic imaging, and will be useful for examination of the anterior segment of the eye.
