Topcon is unveiling a world first in OCT technology with the premiere of the new Swept Source DRI OCT at Optrafair this April (18-20) in the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham.
Topcon will reveal the DRI OCT Triton which is being heralded as the new dimension in optical coherence tomography thanks to its wavelength and scanning speed. The Japanese giant’s decision to choose the UK to reveal the DRI OCT Triton was welcomed by the Director of Medical at Topcon GB Ltd, Andrew Yorke. He said the DRI OCT Triton would set a new standard in OCT imaging. ‘I’m really pleased that the UK has been chosen to launch Topcon's new DRI OCT Triton.’
The DRI OCT Triton series with 1,050nm wavelength and the world’s fastest scanning speed of 100,000 A-Scans per second, is the first and only posterior segment swept source instrument. The longer wavelength of light allows the DRI OCT Triton to reveal posterior segment structures previously invisible to conventional forms of OCT, rapidly penetrating ocular tissues such as the choroid and even the sclera, without the light source being obscured by cataracts or other media opacities. Yorke said this gave the ability to clearly visualise the retina and choroid through significant lens opacities which is of significant benefit to all clinicians. Its ability to perform deeper, wider scanning options associated with the longer wavelength and advanced swept source technology means Triton will be setting new standards in OCT imaging. ‘I know this is a cliché, but tomorrow's technology really is now available today,’ said Yorke.
Topcon is one of the largest exhibitors at Optrafair this year, occupying stands G80, G90, H80 and H90.
