ArcScan's Technology ArcScan的技术
The ArcScan Insight® 100 imaging technology provides unmatched accuracy to obtain measurements in the entire anterior chamber of the eye. The device and software create a powerful platform that enables users to easily obtain stunning high-resolution images of the entire anterior segment in micron precision, including areas that cannot be imaged with current optical technologies. The Swept Beam Liquid Interface™ technology delivers dramatic developments in ultrasound imaging, unrivaled in its precision.
ArcScan Insight® 100 成像技术提供极高的准确性,可以在整个眼睛前房中进行测量。 该设备和软件平台能使用户能以微米精度轻松获得整个眼球前部的超高分辨率图像,包括当前光学技术无法成像的区域。 Swept Beam Liquid Interface™ 技术在超声成像方面取得了巨大的发展,其精度无与伦比。
The ArcScan Insight® 100 uses core proprietary technology that was originally developed and patented at Columbia/Weill University. A mechanically controlled 50 MHz transducer scans the eye in an arc shaped motion with a curvature that approximates the anterior ocular surface.
ArcScan Insight® 100 的技术最早来源于哥伦比亚/威尔大学。 该设备以机械控制的 50 MHz 换能器以弧形运动扫描眼睛,其曲率接近眼前段的表面曲度。
ArcScan's Insight® 100
The ArcScan Insight® 100 device is a precision, very-high-frequency ultrasound ("VHF-US") device for imaging and measuring anterior chamber depth, angle-to-angle width, individual corneal layers, sulcus-to-sulcus width, and more—all with micron-level precision.
ArcScan Insight® 100 设备是一种精密的超高频超声 (“VHF-US”) 设备,用于成像和测量前房深度、角到角宽度、单个角膜层、沟到沟宽度、以及更多——均具有微米级精度。
While the patient is comfortably seated and resting on an EyeSeal Disposable, the device scans the eye, non-invasively. ArcScan's EyeSeal Disposables are used to enable the precision imaging while preventing cross-contamination between patients. Designed for functional efficiency and ease of use, the ArcScan Insight® 100 system is comprised of four main components: the ArcScan Insight® 100 Device, the Insight software package, the fluidics module, and the electronics unit.
当患者舒适地坐在 EyeSeal Disposable 上时,该设备会无创地扫描眼睛。 ArcScan 的 EyeSeal Disposables 用于实现精确成像,同时防止患者之间的交叉感染。 ArcScan Insight® 100 系统旨在实现功能效率和易用性,由四个主要组件组成:ArcScan Insight® 100 设备、Insight 软件包、流体模块和电子单元。
The ArcScan Insight® 100 provides accurate biometry for pre–operative and post-operative IOL, premium IOL, and ICL. This allows the clinic to evaluate accurate lens position, tilt, and volume.
ArcScan Insight® 100 为术前和术后 IOL、premium IOL 和 ICL 提供准确的生物测量。这允许诊所进行准确的晶状体位置、倾斜度和体积评估。
"The goal is to reduce lens exchanges and make them very rare, as opposed to the current 2% exchange rate," says Dr. Dan Reinstein, Founder and Laser Eye Surgeon of London Vision Clinic and Chief Medical Officer of ArcScan. "The most advanced method for ICL sizing is to use the Insight 100 very-high-frequency digital ultrasound scanner to directly measure the area inside the eye, behind the iris where the lens will sit."
“我们的目标是减少镜片更换到几乎不更换,而不是目前的2%更换率,”伦敦眼科诊所创始人、激光眼科外科医生兼 ArcScan 首席医疗官 Dan Reinstein 博士说。 “最先进的 ICL 尺寸测量方法是使用 Insight 100 超高频数字超声扫描仪直接测量眼睛内部的区域,即镜片所在的虹膜后面。”
