PARAMUS, NJ, June 1, 2008 – Topcon Medical Systems, Inc. (TMS), of Paramus, NJ, is pleased to
announce that its EyeRoute® Image Management System now provides the first web interface tailored
specifically for Spectral Domain OCT.
The new EyeRoute® SD OCT System provides a direct web-based link to a variety of Spectral Domain
OCT imaging systems including dynamic interfaces for the Topcon 3D OCT-1000 and the Heidelberg
Spectralis™. Additional interfaces, including Cirrus, Optovue, and Zeiss are in production. The
EyeRoute® SD OCT System allows the doctor to log into EyeRoute® and view their Spectral Domain
OCT system via the Internet. They are no longer required to have the OCT review station software
loaded onto their PC; they can simply connect remotely via the Internet!
The new dynamic web interface provides enhanced web functionality, including Pin-Point display of the
OCT image and its corresponding fundus image, and dynamic viewing of the B-scan movie in real time.
The doctor can view and manipulate a variety of images such as B-scans, digital retinal images, and visual
fields, and then directly compare them to the 3D OCT images. This will not only enhance the doctor’s
diagnostic capabilities by allowing them to map the exact location of retinal abnormalities, but it will also
improve visualization for the purpose of patient education. The SD OCT EyeRoute® System also saves money by allowing the doctor to connect from remote sites without requiring separate review stations at
each site.
“The new EyeRoute® SD OCT System brings together the world’s most advanced ophthalmic image
networking system with the latest generation Spectral Domain OCT technology,” summarized Paul
Iwasaki, President of Topcon Medical Systems, “This powerful new interface gives the practitioner
yet another valuable tool for improving diagnosis and enhancing patient care.”
