DISPLAY AND CONTROL FEATURES
Results of a clinical study presented by Ms Mehta showed the latter goal was achieved. Latency to image display on the OCT system desktop monitor was measured during posterior segment imaging using the handheld probe. Mean measured latency time was 124ms without the WebUI and increased by only 72ms with its use, which had no impact on operator usage. Views available with the WebUI include camera, B-scan, and summed voxel projection. Graphical icon control “buttons” include a B-scan slider, “toggle retina” for switching between anterior and posterior segment imaging, and “start capture” for image capture. “The current features were chosen based on operator feedback. However, the platform-neutral and flexible nature of a WebUI offers tremendous potential for customising user interface displays and controls for a variety of OCT hardware systems, applications, and end users,” Ms Mehta said.Tags: ocular pathology, optical coherence tomography
