MAESTRO2 WITH AUTOMATED OCTA
Topcon
Topcon is launching the Maestro2 Automated OCT/Fundus Camera, now with OCTA. Building on the success of its predecessor, the 3D OCT-1 Maestro, the new Maestro2 adds more clinical utility to its multimodality platform.
Features: The Maestro2 is a fully automated OCT system that can capture high resolution non-mydriatic, true color fundus photography, OCT and OCTA with the single press of a button. This multimodal system also now offers the Hood Report for the structure/function analysis of glaucoma. Additionally, it features a 360-degree rotating intuitive touch screen, a small footprint and space-saving design.
First introduced to the industry in 2014, OCT Angiography, with its presentation of the vascular network of the retina, is rapidly growing in clinical acceptance. It has become a valuable aid in the detection and monitoring of key retinal pathologies such as choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy, microaneurysms and more. Topcon’s OCTA offering, for both its SS-OCT and SD-OCT models, demonstrates its investment in this technology across its platforms for utilization by multiple eyecare specialists and generalists alike.
In addition to being extremely easy to use, the Maestro2 is loaded with clinical utilities. It features IMAGEnet 6 capture software for dynamic viewing of OCT and imaging data. Additionally, Topcon’s exclusive PinPoint Registration precisely matches specified areas within OCT and OCTA scans upon the color fundus image. The Maestro2’s new follow-up scan feature scans the exact same location each patient visit, beneficial for follow-up visits and tracking diseases over time. An extensive portfolio of reports for macula, anterior and glaucoma allows the practitioner access to advanced diagnostic data.
