US 9,872,617 B2 · Flexible, multimodal retina image recording system and measurement system

Abstract

A fundus camera with an OCT measurement module, in which, after the focusing objective, a mirror switches the light to be detected either to the OCT measurement module or an image detector. This design also renders it possible to carry out a method for improved focusing in order to improve the recording quality of the individual modalities. Furthermore, the multimodal measuring instrument distinguishes itself by an operating concept according to the invention. Such combination instruments are advantageous in that, as a result of the reduction from two instruments to one, less space is required than in the case of two separate instruments. Furthermore, reseating of the patient is avoided if recordings or measurements of different modalities should be made for one and the same patient, as a result of which the procedures in the medical practices and clinics can be influenced positively.

Dependent claims

A user-interface for a device for recording multimodal retinal recordings or measurements, the user interface comprising:

a recording region and a image observation region/analysis region, wherein switching between the two regions is achieved by a single user action;
the recording region comprising a measuring instrument control region and at least one image display region including a first image display region;
a measuring instrument control region comprising two or more measurement recording modes each identified by a tab, in which all measurement parameters to be specified by the user for setting each mode prior to recording, are listed;
wherein the first image display region displays images which can be used for setting a measurement mode;
wherein control elements to be operated by the user during recording or adjustment are assigned to the first image display region;
and
wherein the image observation/analysis region enables looking at an image, analyzing the image and/or comparing several images or segments of images including fundus images or OCT images.
