SOCT (Spectral Optical Coherence Tomography) Copernicus REVO
Thanks to the use of spectral tomography as an answer to many diagnostic challenges, Copernicus REVO is at the very top of its class. The device uses modern technology that keeps pace with the latest developments, such as the use of OCT angiography for diagnostic purposes, and successfully meets all requirements of everyday ophthalmology practice.
Compared with similar devices of an older generation, examinations on the OCT Copernicus REVO are incomparably shorter. After positioning the patient’s head, a single press of a button is enough to obtain scans of both eyes within a few seconds, together with all related graphs and measurements.
Three dimensional eye visualisation
Scans acquired with the SOCT Copernicus REVO have exceptional resolution, which means even the finest details are visible. This is crucial for early disease detection. B scans produced by the device can generate three dimensional images of the optic nerve, retina or cornea.
SOCT REVO enables up to 27000 scans per second, with an axial resolution of 5 microns and a transverse resolution of 12 microns. The total imaging depth is 2.4 mm. The scan range is 5 to 12 mm for the posterior segment of the eye and 3 to 16 mm for the anterior segment.
The device’s precision is also reflected in its ability to clearly distinguish 8 retinal layers. Thanks to these capabilities, SOCT Copernicus REVO is extremely helpful in diagnosing diseases of both the retina and the optic nerve, and is of great importance for monitoring pathological changes in the macula, the part of the fundus responsible for central vision and color perception.
Non invasive OCT diagnostics
Optical coherence tomography is a modern, non invasive technology that provides cross sectional images of the retina. In addition to capturing precise high resolution OCT images, SOCT Copernicus REVO includes software for complete image analysis, with all relevant maps and graphs showing retinal and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, as well as any disorders of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
The device offers multiple functions for advanced diagnostics of different parts of the eye:
- Glaucoma analysis module
- Retina analysis module
- Anterior segment analysis module
- With a special adapter, a wider scan of the anterior segment is possible
SOCT Copernicus REVO includes a large reference database that supports the ophthalmologist in interpreting results and in early detection of glaucoma, one of the most common causes of irreversible vision loss. By analysing asymmetry of the optic nerves, it is possible to identify patients who already have visual field narrowing as well as those in whom abnormalities of the optic nerve and increased risk are present but symptoms are not yet visible. This approach allows glaucoma to be detected before the patient notices any loss of vision.
